What does "generative AI" mean in IIGAI's context?
It refers to AI systems that generate novel content (text, images, code, etc.) according to prompts, and the associated ecosystems of tools, frameworks, impact, governance, and education.
What kind of research does IIGAI publish?
The institute publishes white papers, analytical reports, policy outlooks, forecasts, case studies, and research on future models, governance, ethics, and sectoral applications.

It's a curated collection of frameworks, validated approaches, policy models, checklists, and case studies that guide responsible generative-AI development and governance. IIGAI welcomes organizations and experts to contribute their own best practices or case studies, which are reviewed by the institute's editorial and governance teams before publication.
What is the Mega Library, and can I submit my own tool?
The Mega Library is a curated directory of generative-AI tools for development, deployment, evaluation, and governance. Creators and organizations can submit their tools for listing through the "List Your Tool" process, subject to IIGAI's review and approval.
What does "endorsement" mean in this context?
Endorsement is a recognition awarded to third-party generative AI courses that meet IIGAI's benchmarks in relevance, ethics, teaching quality, and alignment with industry needs.
