The AI Risk Management Assurance Network (AIRMAN) addresses a critical gap in AI safety: the disconnect between existing AI assurance technologies and standardized safety documentation practices. While the market shows high demand for both quality/conformity tools and observability/monitoring systems, currently used solutions operate in silos, offsetting risks of intellectual property leaks and antitrust action at the expense of risk management robustness and transparency. This fragmentation not only weakens safety practices but also exposes organizations to significant liability risks when operating without clear documentation standards and evidence of reasonable duty of care.

Our solution creates an open-source standards framework that enables collaboration and knowledge-sharing between frontier AI safety teams while protecting intellectual property and addressing antitrust concerns. By operating as an OASIS Open Project, we can provide legal protection for industry cooperation on developing integrated standards for risk management and monitoring.

The AIRMAN is unique in three ways: First, it creates a neutral, dedicated platform where competitors can collaborate on safety standards. Second, it provides technical integration layers that enable interoperability between different types of assurance tools. Third, it offers practical implementation support through templates, training programs, and mentorship systems.

The commercial viability of our solution is evidenced by strong willingness-to-pay across all major stakeholder groups for quality and conformity tools. By reducing duplication of effort in standards development and enabling economies of scale in implementation, we create clear value for participants while advancing the critical goal of AI safety.
