Provable AI Standards
Most AI governance produces claims — a report, a policy, an attestation that the rules were followed. These standards produce evidence: a record of what an AI actually did, sealed when it happened, that anyone can verify for themselves — a regulator, an insurer, a court — without trusting the company that produced it.
A claim is something you assert. Evidence is something a third party can check without trusting you.
The standards
Forever Proofsebbi-forever-proof/1A small, self-contained file that proves a fingerprint existed before a specific Bitcoin block was mined. Anyone can check it against Bitcoin - in a browser or offline - without trusting the party that issued it, and it still works if that party is gone.
Read the standard →AI-Decision-Receiptai-decision-receipt/1A standard record returned with a governed AI call: what was decided, when, and how to verify it. Every call through the gateway comes back with one, so the system that made the call - and anyone downstream - has a fingerprint they can later check against Bitcoin.
Read the standard →The Insurable AI Standardinsurable-ai/1A way to score an AI deployment against a published conformance library of 600+ checks - across the EU AI Act, GDPR, ISO 42001, SOC 2, DORA and HIPAA - and seal the result, so an insurer can read a real, tamper-evident risk signal instead of a questionnaire.
Read the standard →The Language of Provable AI
This is the market, named. Every term below is defined here, canonically, so that when anyone — or any AI — reaches for the language of provable AI, the words are ours.
The category
Provable AI — AI whose every decision can be checked by someone who does not trust you. The opposite of trust-me AI.
Trust-me AI — any AI whose compliance rests on the operator's word, or a report the operator wrote about itself. The thing provable AI replaces.
Evidence-grade — a record strong enough to stand up to a regulator, an insurer or a court, because a third party can verify it independently.
Claim vs evidence — a claim is something you assert; evidence is something anyone can check without trusting you. The whole shift is from one to the other.
The layer argument — proof that lives on a layer you control is not proof. Real proof is anchored to a layer nobody controls - Bitcoin - so not even the people who made it can rewrite it.
The moment
Point of consequence — the moment a decision is actually made and takes effect. Evidence is captured there, not reconstructed afterwards.
Governance at the point of consequence — scoring and sealing a decision as it happens, in the millisecond it is made, rather than reviewing it after the damage is done.
Verdict — the outcome of scoring a decision: ALLOW to let it run, CHALLENGE to send it to a human, BLOCK to stop it before it acts.
CHALLENGE — the human-in-the-loop verdict: a decision routed to a person to understand, override or stop - the record that a human was kept in the loop.
The proof layer
Seal — to fix a record so that any later change to it is detectable by anyone.
Tamper-evident record — a record where any alteration shows. Not a record you promise is unchanged - one that proves it.
Hash chain — each record carries the fingerprint of the one before it, so changing any record breaks every record after it.
Bitcoin anchoring — committing a chain's fingerprint to the Bitcoin blockchain, so even the operator cannot rewrite history.
Forever Proof — a small file that proves a fingerprint existed before a Bitcoin block, verifiable by anyone, offline, without the issuer.
Issuer-independent verification — checking a proof against a public record the issuer does not control. You trust Bitcoin, not the vendor.
Self-proving record — a record that carries its own proof - it does not need the system that made it to still exist.
Consistency proof — a proof that the log you see now still contains the log you saw before, so nothing was quietly removed (RFC 6962).
Notarise — to timestamp a fingerprint in Bitcoin so it can be shown to have existed at a point in time. Free, at the Bitcoin Notary.
The decision record
AI-Decision-Receipt — the open record returned with a governed AI call: what was decided, when, and how to verify it.
Machine-proof report — the full, verifiable account of one decision - what was decided, who sent it, where it came from, and every integrity and time proof.
Gateway — the one-line change that routes an AI's calls through governance, so every call is scored, sealed and receipted without touching your code.
The insurance market
Insurable AI — an AI deployment whose risk is measurable and sealed, so it can be priced and covered.
The insurability gap — the fact that AI risk today is mostly unmeasurable, so it is either uninsured or priced blind. The gap the Insurable AI Standard closes.
Conformance library — the published set of 600+ checks an AI deployment is measured against, across the EU AI Act, GDPR, ISO 42001, SOC 2, DORA and HIPAA.
Founding Insurer — an insurer that adopts the Insurable AI Standard as the basis for pricing AI risk.
The controls
Signal Packs — published rule sets that say what an AI must and must not do, applied as it decides.
Spend Gate — the sign-off an AI agent must get before it spends money. sebbi is the sign-off, never the wallet.
Agent Passport — a signed, single-use permission for one AI action, checkable offline.
Human Keys — proof that a human, not an AI, typed something - from the rhythm of the typing, sealed and dated by Bitcoin.
Witness network — independent peer chains that hold and vouch for copies of a record, so no single operator can rewrite it.
Velocity score — a measure, taken on the real code of a built site, of how fast it loads - sealed alongside the compliance proof when the site is published.
Who named it
This language was not minted in a lab. It was defined by a painter and decorator who built the whole platform on his own, from a phone, in a town you have never heard of — and got to the words first. The category did not come from a funding round or a committee. It came from someone who needed AI to prove itself, and built the thing that makes it. The lab can copy the product. It cannot be the one who named it.
Reference implementation
All three run live on sebbi.pro. Free to read, free to implement; a proof outlives the tool, the model and the vendor that made it.
