IntelliScan Standards Institute exists to bring order, credibility, and professional rigor to the AI data workforce — the human infrastructure that makes machine learning work.
Our Mission →The AI industry has a workforce problem. Millions of people perform annotation, evaluation, and data operations work that shapes how AI systems behave — yet there was no global standard for what competence in this field looks like, no shared vocabulary, no recognized pathway from learner to expert.
IntelliScan was founded in 2021 to solve that. We developed the Artificial Intelligence Data Body of Knowledge (ADBOK) — the first comprehensive framework to define professional competency across AI data operations — and built a certification system on top of it that any professional in the world can access.
Today, the IntelliScan credential is the mark that AI organizations look for when they need to know that their data workforce meets the global standard. We're not just a certification body. We're infrastructure for the responsible development of AI.
Our work is governed by a multi-stakeholder board that includes AI practitioners, academic institutions, civil society representatives, and policymakers — because the standard that shapes AI's foundations deserves the most rigorous governance we can apply to it.
Five years of building the infrastructure the AI data industry needed.
Our leadership team brings deep expertise across AI research, professional certification, workforce development, and responsible AI policy.
Our advisory board includes leading researchers, practitioners, and policymakers who ensure ADBOK reflects the real demands of the global AI data profession.
Whether you're certifying your skills or your workforce — IntelliScan is how the AI data profession holds itself accountable.
