Call for Participation in AI Judgement Event Community Group
The AI Judgement Event Community Group has been launched:
The AI Judgement Event Community Group (AIJE CG) aims to explore recording, transferring, and verifying responsibility in AI systems, including the use of cryptographic receipts for AI-mediated decisions, in order to support traceable accountability across heterogeneous platforms. For more background to this group, see discussion of the Web & AI Interest Group.
This Community Group will investigate the integration of a Judgement Event Protocol layer within AI systems and Web architecture. The scope of this group includes:
- Definition of a Judgement Representation Model for representing AI judgments
- Investigation of lightweight, deployable mechanisms for judgement information to be transmitted and embedded in protocols
- Exploration of mechanisms to ensure that AI judgments are cryptographically verifiable across systems, portable across platforms and jurisdictions, and Interoperable between different AI agents, services, and governance frameworks
This group may publish Specifications.
In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account. Please note, however, that W3C Membership is not required to join a Community Group.
This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2026-04-02 by Yuqiang Wang. The following people supported its creation: Xiaoqian Wu, Ruoxi Ran, Song XU, Junlin He and Yuqiang Wang. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.
The group must now choose a chair. Read more about how to get started in a new group and good practice for running a group.
We invite you to share news of this new group on social media and other channels.
If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at site-comments@w3.org
Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
I am very happy to welcome everyone to the newly launched AI Judgement Event Community Group at W3C.
Before this Community Group was created, I submitted a related individual Internet-Draft at the IETF: Judgment Event Protocol (JEP) at: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-wang-jep-judgment-event-protocol/. The draft explores a minimal and verifiable log format for decision-related operations in agent systems. In simple terms, JEP is about how AI agents and platforms may record, verify, and trace important judgement or decision events in a lightweight and interoperable way. The work is also being developed openly in the https://github.com/hjs-spec repository.
With AI agents increasingly acting across Web services, applications, and platforms, questions of responsibility, traceability, accountability, and user trust are becoming more urgent. We believe the Web community has an important role to play in this discussion: how can Web architecture, identity, security, privacy, and governance mechanisms support responsible AI agent behavior?
Thank you to everyone who supported the creation of this Community Group. We warmly invite researchers, developers, standards participants, and interested community members to join the discussion and help shape this work together.
