Frequently asked questions
The essentials about responsible AI, eligibility, certification, cost, validity, verification and renewal.
RAIUC is a simple framework that helps organisations use artificial intelligence responsibly. It focuses on how AI is used in everyday business, not how it is built. By making a public commitment to 10 clear principles, organisations can demonstrate their commitment to using AI in a safe, transparent and accountable way.
RAIUC is for any organisation that uses—or expects to use—AI and can commit to all 10 charter statements. This includes small businesses, large companies, teams and departments using tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini and others.
You do not need to be an AI company or have technical expertise. RAIUC is specifically designed for organisations that use AI in everyday work—including writing, analysis, customer support and decision-making—rather than only those that develop AI systems.
Certification involves making a public declaration that your organisation will follow the 10 Responsible AI Commitments. The process is designed to be simple, practical and accessible, with no technical barriers.
Certification provides a clear structure for using AI responsibly and shows customers, employees and partners that your organisation takes responsible AI seriously.
Yes. The core charter, initial certification, annual renewal, resources and guidance are free. Optional paid services may be introduced in the future, but they would be separate from the core charter and certification.
Certificates are valid for 12 months from the date of issue. The expiry date is shown clearly on the certificate and public verification page.
No. RAIUC is a declaration-based charter. It records an organisation’s commitment to the 10 statements; it does not independently audit every AI system or replace legal compliance obligations.
Yes. The public certificate search accepts a company name or unique certificate number and displays the latest record.
The public record will show the certificate as expired. The organisation can renew by confirming the 10 commitments again, after which a new certificate is issued.
Certified organisations may download and display the certification mark while their certificate is valid. The mark must not be used in a misleading way or imply product endorsement.
