Advanced AI Society joins the Linux Foundation, launches open verification ecosystem as Congress moves on agent security - The Next Web

PolicySafetyIndustry

Advanced AI Society announced its membership in the Linux Foundation and LF Decentralized Trust, and the launch of an open verification ecosystem, according to an article published by The Next Web. The announcement is reported alongside the release of the v1.0 working draft of Proof-of-Control. The draft has been published for public comment, and the article states the comment period runs through October 30, 2026. The Next Web article is titled 'Advanced AI Society joins the Linux Foundation, launches open verification ecosystem as Congress moves on agent security.'

The article states that the open verification ecosystem is hosted by LF Decentralized Trust as a lab. The same organisation is named as host of the working draft, and the excerpt refers to Advanced AI Society as an alliance. The draft is described in the article as a working draft released at version 1.0. The excerpt does not state how many organisations belong to the alliance or what the terms of the Linux Foundation membership are.

The article frames the announcement alongside congressional activity on agent security, presenting both as happening at the same time. According to the excerpt, bipartisan Congressional proposals demand continuous agent verification and third-party evaluation. The article's title states that the launch comes as Congress moves on agent security. The excerpt does not identify specific bills, members of Congress, or agencies, nor does it detail the content of the draft.
