Machine Accountability Corporation

Machine Accountability Corporation

A Delaware corporation. It publishes records of machine reliability and operates the properties below.

What it does

Machine systems now produce assertions that people file, submit and rely on. When one of those assertions is wrong, the record of that failure is scattered across court files, vendor disclosures and nothing at all. This company publishes records of that kind — with a stated method, an inspectable artifact, and a correction history — and builds the instruments that let other parties do the same.

Properties

Qollqa Register

A published register of court findings about machine-generated citations, matched to the issuing court file, with every correction recorded.

DeepInquiry

A verified fact corpus served by API. Every claim cross-checked against independent sources, cited, dated and signed.

CiteSig

An open protocol for signing factual claims so that a machine can verify them without trusting the signer. Open specification, reference implementations, no fee.

Open instruments

The contribution schema, the system registry and the claim canonicalization published with the register are open, versioned and unowned. No patent is claimed over any of them and any party may implement them. Where this company publishes a standard it intends to be used by parties who do not pay it.

Publications

Working papers on machine-generated evidence, the verification duty, and the evidentiary treatment of machine assertions. Current drafts and their revision history are listed with the register.
