AI has a profession
now.

The Institute of AI (IoAI) is the UK's independent professional body for AI: recognised credentials for practitioners, a five-pillar maturity framework for organisations, and a public commitment any organisation can sign. Built for the way AI actually works now.

— The standard —

The UK AIReadiness Charter.

A plain-language standard for the responsible design, deployment and oversight of AI systems: written so a board can sign it, an auditor can check it, and a citizen can read it. Free to read. Free to sign.

The Institute's review reshaped our entire model-risk posture in a fortnight. Independent, rigorous, and exactly the outside read we needed.
