This protocol defines the procedures by which AIVO records and preserves evidence of AI-generated representations at the moment of observation. Its purpose is to establish a defensible, replayable record of what an AI system presented to a user under defined conditions, without influencing, optimizing, or altering the system’s behavior. This protocol applies to operational AI reliance contexts, including but not limited to AI-mediated discovery, explanation, comparison, and summarization interfaces. Affiliation Statement AIVO Standard is an independent research and governance initiative. It has no affiliation with any agency, framework, or commercial methodology operating under the name AIVO or otherwise.
