National Academy of Artificial Intelligence: Establishing a Transparent, Globally Recognized Authority in Doctoral Education

In the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence, doctoral education authority no longer depends solely on traditional state or institutional accreditation. Instead, it rests on research quality, transparency, and recognition by the global expert community. The National Academy of Artificial Intelligence (NAAI) is pioneering a fully online, transparent, international doctoral education system that embodies these principles.

1. Research Quality as the Core of Authority

The NAAI PhD program follows a research outcome-oriented approach:

  • Candidates must complete original research that meets international cutting-edge standards.

  • All research outputs—including papers, algorithms, datasets, and experimental methods—are fully reproducible and publicly archived.

  • PhD defenses are conducted online and fully recorded, with videos and meeting records accessible to the academic community for verification.

Research excellence forms the primary basis for degree authority, ensuring every step of the process is verifiable and academically rigorous.

2. Global Expert Recognition as the Backbone of Authority

The program establishes an International Advisory Committee and an expert endorsement system:

  • All NAAI members participate in guidance and review, providing interdisciplinary and international academic oversight.

  • Students may select recommended supervisors, whose credentials, research areas, and affiliations are publicly disclosed for transparency.

  • All dissertations undergo rigorous evaluation by both supervisors and external international examiners, with review summaries publicly available.

Expert recognition derives not only from academic reputation but also from active participation in the education and evaluation process, forming a verifiable foundation of authority.

3. Transparency and Public Accountability

The NAAI doctoral system emphasizes full transparency:

  1. Publicly accessible dissertations: Full text or abstract with DOI or unique ID, allowing global scholars to review and verify research.

  2. Open defense materials: Defense recordings, presentations, and review summaries are available online to ensure fairness and credibility.

  3. Public mentor recommendations and academic endorsements: Supervisors and external examiners are publicly listed, documenting the guidance process.

  4. Online certificate verification: Each degree is issued with a unique ID, verifiable through the NAAI website against the candidate’s research record.

This fully transparent process ensures that degree authority stems not only from expert reputation but also from traceable and verifiable academic records.

4. Global Academic Community and Brand Impact

NAAI strengthens recognition through multiple channels:

  • Hosting international online conferences, doctoral forums, and project showcases to highlight student research.

  • Publishing annual research reports, thesis collections, and technical reports to establish lasting academic influence.

  • Establishing awards, industry collaboration projects, and alumni networks to disseminate degree value and social recognition.

Through these measures, authority is reinforced not merely internally but through global academic community consensus and practice.

5. Conclusion

By integrating research excellence, global expert recognition, full transparency, and community impact, the National Academy of Artificial Intelligence has created a new model of doctoral authority.

This model provides a high-level training platform for AI researchers worldwide and demonstrates a borderless, transparent, and verifiable standard of authority for the future of global doctoral education.
