Transparency Passports

A passport is one dated page you can hand to a customer’s procurement desk, an auditor, or an insurer. It says what an independent desk verified about a product, what its EU AI Act Article-50 posture is, and where the machine-readable version lives.

Free — free to publish, free to read, and not paid for by the vendor. That is the point: a passport the subject bought would be worth nothing to the desk it is handed to. Hlido is not a notified body and a passport is not a certification or legal advice.

297 of the reviewed corpus qualify today. A passport is issued only when every layer exists — an independent review, an Article-50 reading, and captured run evidence — because one with a gap reads as a finding against the vendor.

Deploying these agents rather than selling one? Article 50 puts duties on you. Build a file for your whole stack with the free EU AI Act Evidence File, or check any agent including ones we have not reviewed.

The two scores are never combined. One says whether the product is good; the other whether it meets a disclosure duty. Machine-readable index: /data/passports/index.json
