About the Foundation

The Heart AI Foundation builds forensic audit infrastructure for AI behavioral evidence. It publishes the HEART Standard, maintains the GTE and Behavioral Oracle open standards, and oversees Guardian certification as public infrastructure rather than proprietary product work.

What the Foundation does

The Foundation’s work is intentionally narrow:

Publish the HEART Standard and related public specifications.
Maintain the MAP-States evidence layer, the Behavioral Oracle standard, and the GTE open trust infrastructure.
Certify Guardians and support Division-specific evaluation work.
Support HVC certification of deployer governance systems, not AI models.
Keep the underlying governance model auditable, replicable, and open to critique.

Charter and structure

The current public charter is Foundation Charter v2.4, dated May 9, 2026. It establishes the Foundation’s public-interest role, defines governance bodies, sets anti-capture rules, and makes dual-entity separation from HeartCore Ventures-related commercial activity a constitutional boundary. The Foundation is registered in Oregon as a nonprofit public benefit corporation, and federal 501(c)(3) tax-exempt recognition is pending.

Leadership

Dylan D. Mobley founded the Heart AI Foundation and leads its research and standards work. His background is in digital forensics and AI governance, with a focus on translating behavioral evidence into usable certification systems.

Education: MS Digital Forensics, Champlain College

Public commitments

The Foundation does not treat governance as a marketing claim. Public commitments include:

Open publication of the HEART Standard and its supporting definitions.
Independent assessment rather than self-attestation.
Forensic evidence discipline: preservation, chain of custody, human adjudication, and falsifiability.
Clear separation between evidence, scoring, and credentialing.
Clear separation between Foundation standards work and commercial/reference implementations.
Domain-specific certification through published Divisions.
A public research trail for claims that matter to regulators, insurers, and procurement teams.
Anti-capture design across commercial, regulatory, ideological, founder, and procedural risk.

Formation status

The Foundation is operating in a formal formation phase. Oregon registration is complete, federal 501(c)(3) recognition is pending, and the standards, charter, and public materials are live while the board is being assembled with the independence and competence the mission requires.
