AI Referre

Human oversight for AI use in a regulated world.

AI Ref (Artificial Intelligence Referee) is a neutral governance layer designed to help organizations maintain accountability when artificial intelligence is used in decision-making, content creation, or customer interaction.

It defines rules of use, flags risk conditions, and documents when human review is required—so responsibility remains clear and defensible.

When AI Is Involved, Someone Is Still Responsible

AI systems can act quickly, quietly, and at scale. Policies often lag behind usage.

When something goes wrong, the question is no longer what the AI did, but:

Who approved it?
Under what rules?
With what oversight?

AI Ref exists to answer those questions before they are asked.

What AI Ref Does

Define Boundaries
Establishes where AI use is allowed, restricted, or prohibited based on risk and context.

Trigger Human Review
Flags activities that require human judgment, approval, or explanation.

Record Accountability
Documents decisions, exceptions, and approvals to create a defensible record of reasonable care.

What AI Ref Is Not

AI Ref is not an autonomous decision-maker, a legal authority, or a replacement for leadership.

It does not override human judgment or enforce outcomes.

It exists to ensure that when AI is used, human responsibility remains explicit.
