WHAT’S NEW

The Missing Layer

A six-part series on why AI accountability starts before the output — written in public, one piece at a time, as the case for what Equal Standard Project is building. Each article names one part of the problem. Read in order, they make the whole picture.

The Ally

It Isn’t Throwing Anyone Under the Bus. It’s Installing a Seat.

The Playbook

What It Looks Like When Someone Actually Builds

The series closes by naming AEGIS publicly for the first time and turning the argument into an invitation — for the municipalities, researchers, and organizations who want to help author the standard rather than inherit it.
