Founding Support
Shape the future of AI accountability.
The Digital Trust Council is building the world's first independent certification standard for trustworthy AI. Founding Support partners make this work possible and play a visible role in launching a new global standard at a critical moment.
Why This Moment
Why this moment matters.
AI is being deployed at scale before credible, independent accountability standards exist. The organizations that help build those standards now will be recognized as the pioneers who demanded better, not just for their own products, but for the field.
DTC's independence is non-negotiable: Founding Support does not influence research outcomes or certification methodology. It funds the infrastructure for a public good.
