The story behind the work
An idea to examine together.
The Individual Agent Standard is a proposal by Matthew MacSharon, founder of TAGII.
The person behind TAGII.
Matthew is based in Toronto. His work brings together hands-on building, design and technology. From wood and metal to software, the starting point is the problem in front of him.
TAGII grew from the idea of engaging others, sharing your talents and leaving a positive mark. The brand’s story reaches back to 1999.
How IAS relates to TAGII.
TAGII is the company developing the connected ecosystem. IAS is a proposal about authority when AI acts in shared spaces. It can inform how connections are designed, but it is not the platform itself, a government endorsement or a claim that its protections are already implemented.
Understand the platformA proposal, not an adopted standard.
IAS puts individual control and accountability at the centre of a question about public AI. It is open to review, and its proposed protections need scrutiny and implementation evidence.
