For AI vendors, data providers, model developers, and internal AI teams.
ASIC — AI System Integrity Certification
Artificial intelligence cannot be trusted unless the systems that produce it are built on lawful, traceable, and structurally sound data. ASIC is a formal forensic evaluation of an AI system's dataset integrity, provenance, lineage, and structural soundness, conducted by ATIC-accredited certification bodies and producing independently verified documentation that the system's intelligence is defensible, its origins are documented, and its training data can withstand legal, regulatory, and public scrutiny.
Purpose
ASIC exists to ensure that AI systems operate on lawful and properly sourced data, transparent and accountable development practices, stable and reliable structural foundations, and governance frameworks capable of withstanding legal scrutiny. ASIC protects institutions from hidden liabilities, unverifiable training sources, and opaque development pipelines.
Eligibility
ASIC is available to AI model developers, dataset providers, synthetic data vendors, internal enterprise AI teams, and research labs and institutions. Any system that trains, fine-tunes, or deploys AI models may apply. Applications are submitted through an ATIC-accredited certification body. Organizations may contact ATIC directly to be connected with an accredited body.
What ASIC Evaluates
ASIC-accredited certification bodies evaluate the governance, provenance, and structural integrity of AI systems through the lens of the applicable jurisdictional annex of the Provenance & Integrity Standard. It focuses on institutional controls, documentation, and legal defensibility across seven dimensions: provenance, lineage, integrity risk, synthetic transparency, structural soundness, independence, and governance. ASIC certifies documentation and governance practices, not the legal cleanliness of specific datasets. It does not technically inspect training data or constitute a legal opinion. Incomplete or inconsistent documentation requires remediation before certification is granted
The Value of ASIC
A system certified under ASIC is independently recognized as documented as lawfully sourced against the Provenance & Integrity Standard, transparent in development, sound in structure, accountable in governance, and defensible under legal and regulatory scrutiny.
Upon completion of evaluation by the accredited certification body, organizations receive an Integrity Score, Certification Tier, Public Registry Listing, Certification Report summarizing findings, and Required Remediations where applicable. Certification is valid for one year and must be renewed annually. All outputs are produced by the accredited certification body and entered into ATIC's public registry. ATIC does not issue certifications directly.
