The No-AI
Pledge Registry
A public registry tracking organizations that make clear, verifiable commitments about where artificial intelligence will — and will not — be used.
Standard 00
Comprehensive Pledge
What qualifies for the flagship registry?
Inclusion requires a clear, publicly verifiable commitment to avoid intentional AI use across the entire organization.
- Operations
- Products & services
- Marketing & research
- Customer support
- Software & automation
- Analysis & decision support
Limited, departmental, task-specific, or technology-specific restrictions are tracked separately in the AI Policy Index.
About the Registry
Organizational AI policies vary widely. Some organizations embrace AI broadly, some restrict particular applications, others are still developing policies, and many have made no clear public commitment. NAPR documents those distinctions rather than treating AI use as a simple yes-or-no question.
Beyond the Zero
Corporate AI policy is not binary.
Organizations are adopting a wide range of positions: restricted uses, protected human functions, disclosure rules, and explicit red lines.
Human-Protected Functions
Organizations explicitly preserve human authorship, curation, judgment, creative direction, or other functions.
View classifications →Disclosure & Consent
AI is permitted subject to transparency, labeling, consent, verification, or other accountability requirements.
View classifications →Intelligence Desk
News & research around AI policy.
NAPR tracks developments that help explain why organizations draw different lines around artificial intelligence.
News Hub
Environment, employment, copyright, privacy and more.
A category-driven desk for AI-related developments and the issues surrounding adoption, restriction, and governance.

What does “AI-free” actually mean?
Research notes examine intentional AI use, incidental infrastructure exposure, human-only commitments, and policy gray areas.

A standard that can evolve.
NAPR separates comprehensive pledges from narrower restrictions so the flagship standard remains meaningful without ignoring real corporate policy.
Read the standard →The registry is broader than the zero.
The flagship NAPR-0 count tracks only comprehensive public no-AI pledges. NAPR separately documents narrower corporate AI restrictions, protected human functions, disclosure rules and permitted uses so that the zero is interpreted against a source-linked body of evidence rather than in isolation.
