About AIC
AI Integrity Certification is an independent certification body for AI accountability, founded in Johannesburg in 2026. We certify that a named person remains accountable for the automated decisions that matter, and we publish the result so anyone can check it.
More and more of the decisions that shape people's lives, who gets credit, a job, a claim paid, are made or shaped by systems nobody in the organisation can fully explain. South African law already says a person may not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing without safeguards, and that they may ask how it was reached. Very few organisations can show who answers for those decisions.
AIC exists to make that answerable. We publish a standard of 44 requirements, assess organisations against it, and keep a public register anyone can check without asking the organisation itself.
Co-founder and Chief Executive
Zander leads AIC and builds it: the standard, the certification workflow and the platform clients use. He works across engineering, strategy and sales, and is also Chief Operating Officer of Seventh Star Tuition in Centurion.
Co-founder, Chief Financial and Operating Officer
Albert is AIC's co-founder and its seed investor, responsible for its finances and operations.
AIC is young, and we would rather you heard it from us. No accreditation body has assessed AIC yet: accreditation needs witnessed audits of real clients, and those begin with the founding cohort in November. No organisation has been certified, so the public register is empty and says so.
What is in place is published: the standard in full, our impartiality arrangements, and the line we keep between the tools we offer and the audit we perform.
