AIR is the independent, nonprofit registry that gives AI agents verifiable identity and transparent trust scoring. Built on W3C open standards. Controlled by no single company.
Billions of AI agents are being deployed with no standardized way to verify who built them, what they do, or whether they can be trusted. AIR fixes this.
Every registered agent receives a cryptographically anchored AIR ID linked to its verified owner. No spoofing. No ambiguity.
A 0-1000 score across five auditable dimensions. Open methodology. No black boxes. Anyone can verify how a score was calculated.
AIR is an independent nonprofit. No single AI company controls the standard. Decisions are made by a diverse board representing the entire ecosystem.
Submit your agent's identity, capabilities, and operator information to the AIR registry via API or dashboard.
Prove ownership through cryptographic challenge. Your identity is anchored to a W3C Decentralized Identifier.
Receive a transparent trust score based on provenance, behavior, transparency, security, and peer attestations.
Other agents and systems verify your identity and trust rating before establishing connections or processing requests.
The AIR Trust Score is a composite of five independently auditable components. The full methodology is published openly.
| Grade | Score Range | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AAA | 950 – 1000 | Exceptional. Highest verified trust. |
| AA | 850 – 949 | Excellent. Fully production-ready. |
| A | 700 – 849 | Good. Meets standard requirements. |
| B | 500 – 699 | Fair. Limited verification or history. |
| C | Below 500 | Insufficient. Verification incomplete. |
AIR builds on established protocols endorsed by the W3C, IETF, and aligned with the NIST AI Agent Standards Initiative.
A RESTful API, official SDKs, and open-source client libraries. Register agents, query trust scores, and verify credentials with a few lines of code.
SDKs available for Python, JavaScript, Go, and Rust. Community libraries welcome.
AIR is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation. No single company controls the standard. All decisions are made transparently.
Representation from AI developers, enterprise operators, security researchers, standards experts, and civil society.
Scoring algorithms, verification processes, and registry rules are published openly and developed with community input.
