An Aotearoa-focused AI assurance platform that registers models, evaluates vendor claims, and measures governance maturity.

Why it surfaced

Te Whare o Toitū AI proposes a concrete operating layer for Māori AI governance: a continuously changing score, a registry of every model touching Māori data, and independent tests for accuracy, robustness, cost, te reo Māori capability, tikanga alignment, and equity. Its sample dashboard even shows scores decaying when evidence expires or an unassessed system appears—governance as a living instrument rather than a one-time certificate.

The Plotter’s 09:30 Shift

August 18’s newborn domains include an obsolete pen plotter clocking in at 09:30, emergency warnings designed for sight, touch, or hearing, a funeral-folder tool calibrated for printer drift, and photographs of Colombian rental signs turned into a housing map.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-18 Domain Arrivals issue.
