LOS ANGELES, CA | June 2025 — Global AI governance strategist and author Rohan Sharma today announced the official launch of the Equitable AI Trust Index, a policy-aligned, public framework designed to benchmark and strengthen institutional AI governance maturity across equity, transparency, and trust dimensions.

Developed at the intersection of frontier technology and executive leadership, the Equitable AI Trust Index provides boards, regulators, policymakers, and C-suite leaders with a unified, implementation-ready framework to assess and advance their AI systems’ accountability and social responsibility.

“Equity in AI governance isn’t a moral add-on. It’s a competitive necessity,” said Sharma. “The Trust Index is designed to give decision-makers a measurable way to lead responsibly in a time of unprecedented change.”

Accessible via www.trustworthyAIindex.org, the index includes a comprehensive assessment model grounded in global standards like the OECD AI Principles, UNESCO’s AI Ethics Guidelines, the EU AI Act, and NIST’s Risk Management Framework, while introducing an original equity-focused layer rooted in real-world institutional needs.

Sharma’s accompanying white paper outlines the vision, methodology, and pathways to adoption for corporations, nonprofits, and public agencies.
