Standardized reporting
Develop uniform global metrics for data provenance, compute and energy use, model performance, and algorithmic bias.
Moving from fragmented guidance toward an auditable, interoperable framework for recognizing, measuring, disclosing, and governing artificial intelligence assets.
Led by Pride AI and Business Solutions, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The framework is under development and invites research, policy, and pilot collaboration.
The IFRS for AI initiative is listed on the UN Digital Cooperation Portal in support of global digital cooperation.
Inclusion on the UN Portal indicates that the initiative meets basic eligibility and quality criteria for global digital cooperation. Content remains the responsibility of Pride AI.
A proposed shared foundation for transparent reporting and accountable assessment across AI systems and jurisdictions.
Develop uniform global metrics for data provenance, compute and energy use, model performance, and algorithmic bias.
Make disclosures about AI agents and generated content legible to people, institutions, and systems, with relevant rules such as EU AI Act Article 50 in view.
Establish a shared baseline for evaluating safety parameters across physical AI, agentic systems, and foundation models.
Enable verifiable third-party evaluation against defined safety thresholds and context-specific social and cultural considerations.
