This is the list of proposed Community and Business Groups. To express support for a group, you must have a W3C account. Once a group has sufficient support (5 supporters), W3C announces its creation, lists it on the current groups page, and people can join it to begin work.
Community Groups are proposed and run by the community. Although W3C hosts these conversations, the groups do not necessarily represent the views of the W3C Membership or staff.
As software agents and AI-driven services are increasingly deployed on the Web, there is no agreed to mechanism for all these systems to express, discover, or negotiate safety-related constraints. This gap limits interoperability and complicates the integration of safety-related guarantees into web architecture.
This Community Group aims to address that gap by exploring safety metadata and discovery, safety negotiation protocols, and verifiable inference metadata.
This Community Group will not define or recommend AI ethics or governance policies, develop model training or alignment standards, create certification, auditing, or compliance frameworks, or define identity systems or replace existing identity standards.
The Group encourages contributions from individuals with expertise in Web standards and protocol design, AI/ML systems, information security and applied cryptography, and Semantic Web and linked data technologies.
This group may publish Specifications.
