GCRI · Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems
Mandate and publisher
Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems is a specialist platform of The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI). Its mandate is the technical science of trustworthy AI, robotics-enabled autonomy, the computational methods behind them and their social effects. This page sets out who is responsible for the platform, what it is designed to do, the limits of its role and its current operating state, which is an established platform.

Mandate and publisher in four parts.
Technical AI science, kept distinct from governance and finance.
The platform exists to produce evidence about what AI and autonomous systems can and cannot do, so that operators, reviewers and the public can rely on measurements rather than marketing.
Scope
Artificial intelligence, autonomous and robotic systems, and the data and compute they depend on.
Who takes part
AI researchers, applied scientists, safety engineers and public-sector technologists.
What it is designed to publish
An AI safety method library, sector use-case studies and evaluation protocols.
Who is responsible.
The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) publishes the platform and answers for its content. GCRI Canada is the lead contracting organisation.
- Subject editors review each topic page and output before release, and dissenting expert views are recorded.
- The platform stewards the STEM Commons pages for artificial intelligence and machine learning and AI evaluation and assurance engineering.
- Rights, status and corrections are set out on trust, rights and status.
Science, not policy or financial oversight.
AI is studied as technical science here, rather than as policy governance, which is convened through AI and Digital Governance at The Global Risks Forum (GRF), or as financial-sector oversight, which is the subject of AI and Financial Model Risk at The Global Risks Alliance (GRA). Keeping the three distinct lets each institution keep its own mandate while sharing evidence.
What the platform does not do, and where it stands.
- It does not regulate AI, certify, license, rank or approve any model, product or provider.
- An evaluation result describes a test under stated conditions; it is not a safety assurance for other conditions.
- Taking part, sponsoring or providing compute gives no authority over findings.
- Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems is an established platform. Its pages set out its scope and how it works, and its activities, records and services are published here as each one opens. Information and enquiries are open today; write to the contact form or see contact the specialist team.
Questions and answers.
Is the platform a separate organisation?
Does the platform accept funding from AI developers?
When will evaluation protocols be published?
Bring a method, a dataset or a question.
Information and enquiries are open today. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
