A vetted directory is only as credible as its published bar. This page is that bar: the standards every AI Faculty member profile must meet to enter and remain in the member directory, applied by the advisory board at admission and on ongoing review.
What every member profile must contain
- Verified identity and standing: legal name, current roles, and affiliations, confirmed, not self-attested
- Credentials with sources: degrees, appointments, and certifications stated verifiably; claims that cannot be checked do not appear
- Documented AI work: the substance requirement: real teaching, published research, deployed systems, or documented client engagements in the member's claimed specialties
- Specialty mapping: membership in specific specialties, each requiring demonstrated depth, not interest
- Engagement record: speaking, advisory, and delivery history relevant to how buyers will engage the member
- Currency: profiles are reviewed on a defined cycle; a materially outdated CV is a standards violation and grounds for review
What the standards prohibit
Unverifiable claims, inflated titles, credentials from diploma mills, AI expertise asserted without artifacts, and testimonial or client claims the member cannot substantiate. The directory's promise to buyers is that this filtering already happened.
Why publish the standards?
Because a private bar is indistinguishable from no bar. Publishing the criteria lets buyers know exactly what a listed profile certifies, lets applicants self-assess honestly before applying, and holds the AI Faculty itself accountable to its own filter.
