About IAORO
"International AI Afterlife Oversight and Regulation Organization"
is an independent oversight for a technology that is changing
what it means to die.
Our MISSION
Following the rapid growth of AI Afterlife technology, IAORO was established as an independent non-profit organization to ensure this profound capability is used with respect, integrity, and transparency.
We certify providers who meet rigorous ethical standards. We maintain a global consent registry so individuals control their digital legacy. We spark critical debate about how this technology shapes grief, memory, identity, and relationships across cultures. Because AI Afterlives aren't just about technology, they're about dignity, consent, and what we owe the dead.
Our VISION
We envision a future where AI Afterlife technology operates with full transparency, individual consent, and emotional responsibility. A future where these deeply personal choices are discussed openly, not hidden behind cultural taboos about death.
IAORO works toward a world where people have the information, agency, and protection they need to make informed decisions about their digital existence beyond death, whether that means embracing it, declining it, or something in between.
Our VALUES
Neutrality: We neither promote nor discourage AI Afterlife technology.
Consent: Your preference is legally binding for all certified providers.
Transparency: Clear standards, open criteria, public accountability.
Authenticity: Honest representation of what AI can and cannot do.
Safety: Emotional support and harm prevention are non-negotiable.
Dignity: Respect for the deceased and of course the living.
How Certification Works
Only providers who meet our comprehensive standards can display the IAORO seal.
Step 1: Application & Review
Providers submit detailed documentation of their consent protocols, data practices, authenticity standards, and safety measures. Our independent review board evaluates the application against IAORO's Code of Ethics and technical requirements.
Step 2: Assessment & Evaluation
We conduct comprehensive on-site audits of data security, consent verification systems, and user experience to ensure real-world compliance with our standards.
Certification & Ongoing Compliance
Providers receive certification and the right to use the IAORO seal, or detailed feedback on gaps to address. Certification requires annual renewal with updated audits. Any consent violations result in immediate suspension.
