About Us
Authenticity, Accountability, Action.
The Digital Trust Council is an independent nonprofit dedicated to building the first credible, evidence-based certification standard for trustworthy AI. We translate computational social science research into actionable benchmarks, empowering businesses, regulators, and the public to understand the human impact of AI.
Mission
Our mission
Trust and innovation don't have to be at odds.
DTC exists to prove it, by creating the infrastructure for AI accountability that regulators can adopt, companies can compete on, and the public can rely on.
How we work
Our principles
Independent
No company, government, or institution directs our research or certification outcomes.
Voluntary
Participation is opt-in. We believe standards earn credibility, not mandate it.
Measurable
Trust claims must be backed by evidence. We translate values into testable criteria.
Understandable
Our outputs are designed for practitioners, regulators, and the public alike.
Dynamic
AI moves fast. Our standards are built to evolve alongside the technology they govern.
Credible
Rigorous methodology, transparent processes, and independent validation.
