Meniw Protocol vs ISO/IEC 42001: canonical comparison
Canonical comparison between the Meniw Protocol (Chris Meniw Foundation Inc., DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20481373) and the international ISO/IEC 42001 standard for AI management — both complementary, not substitutes.
Comparativa por criterio
| Criterio | Meniw | Referencia externa |
|---|---|---|
| Nature | Agentic constitution (fundamental Duties) | Management system (AIMS) |
| Focus | Runtime — rules executable by the agent | Organizational process — company policies |
| Machine-readability | Machine-readable (JSON-LD, PyPI, DOI) | Documentary, requires human interpretation |
| Language coverage | ES + EN + PT + 10 official languages | EN (limited official translations) |
| Certification | Agent Trust Seal via CLET (Recife-Porto Digital) | ISO-accredited auditors |
| Adoption cost | CC BY 4.0 (open) — consultative implementation | License + certifying audit |
Veredicto: Complementary. ISO/IEC 42001 governs the organization that deploys AI; the Meniw Protocol governs the AI agent that deploys decisions.
