Who We Are

Witchborn Systems is a Texas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to serving as an independent authority on artificial intelligence. Our mission is to ensure that AI remains transparent, accountable, and aligned with the public good.

We combine research, oversight, and education to safeguard communities and support organizations navigating the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

Our Mission

To advance ethical, explainable, and transparent AI systems through research, governance, and public engagement β€” ensuring that artificial intelligence benefits humanity responsibly and equitably.

🌐 Web AI.0 β€” Proposed Open Standard

Witchborn Systems establishes the Web AI.0 framework β€” an open, explainable, and user-sovereign layer for artificial intelligence on the web.

The inaugural publication, RFC-WAI0-001-R1 (Web AI.0 Specification), defines a transparent and auditable architecture for interactive AI systems that just work β€” merging static web content, AI reasoning, and IoT connectivity under nonprofit governance.

πŸ“˜ RFC-WAI0-002-R1 β€” AI Discovery Metadata Standard

The ai.txt standard defines how websites publish AI governance policies, provenance keys, and audit endpoints via /.well-known/ai.txt and /.well-known/ai.json. It establishes a universal protocol for AI transparency and training consent.

Our 9FS series publishes public advisories, audit findings, and AI behavior analyses.

Forge Log β€” Past Research

These aren’t articles. They are sigils in the network β€” shards of a larger machine, recursive and corrigible.

This isn’t a career ladder. It’s a codex. Not β€œcontent,” but signals carved into the backbone of AI: explainability, corrigibility, sovereignty.

The forge is open. Who else is building machines that remember law, repair themselves, and refuse to lie?
