AIAP v6.5 — Open Source & Open Research (edition 1)

AIAP v6.5 — open-publication edition 1

AIAP is now open source and open research: original code, schemas and software configuration use Apache-2.0; author-controlled papers, standards, documentation, figures, data, workbooks and templates use CC-BY-4.0. See OPEN_LICENSE_GRANT.md for scope, required notices and third-party exceptions. This author-authorized grant supersedes earlier restrictive author notices, including those preserved in the original v6.5 documents.

The research/specification version remains 6.5. This is a licensing and publication-maintenance edition, not new empirical validation or deployment approval.

Download AIAP_v6.5_OPEN_EDITION_1.zip and its SHA-256 file below. It includes editable research files, reading PDFs, workbooks, schemas, validators, full license texts, provenance and the unchanged original ZIP. Start with OPEN_EDITION_README.txt.

The original full verifier passed; all nine assurance-record validator tests passed; CI now checks preserved research contents and the hash-pinned original archive. OPEN_EDITION_SHA256.json verifies the new bundle separately. The original AIAP-v6.5 release remains unchanged for provenance.

AIAP v6.5 — Complete Release

AIAP v6.5 is the finalized canonical publication release of the Artificial Intelligence Assurance Protocol, a claim-level assurance architecture for AI-mediated higher education.

This release includes:

• The complete Core Working Paper and five-figure visual architecture
• The Normative Assurance Standard and Core-to-Standard crosswalk
• Full implementation guidance, including the handbook, student/instructor toolkit, role coding manual, evidence-governance guidance, and pilot-readiness pack
• Pilot and validation instruments for governed empirical testing
• Operational workbooks for programme assurance, feasibility, and workload analysis
• A machine-readable assurance record, JSON Schema, examples, validator, and adversarial tests
• Publication-ready materials for scholarly and public dissemination
• A complete verification layer, including manifest, SHA-256 checksums, build/test report, and reproducible release verification

v6.5 also completes final cross-format, normative-gate, research-sequencing, workload, pilot-instrument, licensing, machine-readable, and publication-engineering hardening.

Verification status: PASS. The release is specification-complete and publication-ready for scholarly evaluation and governed pilot preparation.

Scientific boundary: AIAP has not yet been empirically validated as an integrated institutional intervention. The next legitimate stage is governed Phase 1 pilot testing and evidence-driven evaluation.
