Common Ground Standard
A practical way to ask what AI systems consume, change, protect, and return before public-benefit claims are accepted.
Choose a subject you know, test one claim against real experience, and leave one focused contribution. No GitHub account is required.
Public review only. This is not a certification, endorsement, petition, partnership request, or claim of adoption.
Current status
Open for critique, not presented as final.
The drafts are public so students, workers, communities, practitioners, agencies, foundations, and institutions can identify what is missing before broader outreach.

How public review works
One grounded critique can improve the draft.
The site is organized around a simple contribution flow, not a requirement to read every document.
- 01
Choose
Start with one subject or one concern you understand.
- 02
Pressure-test
Ask what could fail, who is affected, and what proof is missing.
- 03
Answer
Submit one specific revision, safeguard, evidence threshold, or no-go condition.
- 04
Revise
Feedback is reviewed against the public source record and used to improve later drafts.
Why this work exists
Responsible AI should be visible in the rules, the evidence, and the result.
AI decisions increasingly shape learning, work, public services, infrastructure, and local resources. Broad promises are not enough when the costs and benefits fall unevenly.
Common Ground Standard is being developed as a shared public-review framework for asking better questions before systems scale: What changes? Who decides? What must be protected? What evidence remains public? What value returns to affected people?
