A driving license for the age of AI.
Established June 2015 in Wyoming, USA, the International AI Driving License (IAIDL)is an international research & innovation programme and the professional body for AI capability across the USA, EU and MENA.
Our founding belief is simple: you don’t let people drive without proving they can do it safely — and AI is no different. Fluency with AI is now a basic professional literacy, and it must be held to a single, independent, international standard. So we built the world’s first AI competency certification, and we hold ourselves to the same accreditation the world uses for every serious profession.
“Bring in the philosophers.” IAIDL draws on the thinking of the world’s great institutions to nurture positive AI citizenship — capable, responsible, ethical use of AI, everywhere.
Held to the world’s standards.
