Thinkers360 Expands AI Credential Ecosystem with New AI Safety Digital Award Badges, Credentials, and Certifications

DALLAS, TX – May 27, 2026 – Thinkers360, the world’s premier open platform for B2B thought leaders, analysts and influencers, today announced the official launch of its new AI Safety Digital Award Badge, Credential, and Certification program. This highly anticipated addition expands Thinkers360’s comprehensive suite of cutting-edge AI credentials, which currently includes AI, Agentic AI, AGI, AI Ethics, AI Governance, AI Infrastructure, AI Orchestration, Generative AI, and Quantum AI.

As artificial intelligence rapidly transitions from probabilistic, predictive applications to highly autonomous, agentic workflows, the global business community faces an unprecedented inflection point. The primary challenge for technology executives and strategists is no longer merely defining what AI can do, but ensuring that these advanced systems remain safe, robust, and fundamentally aligned with human values. The new AI Safety track provides a rigorous framework to formally recognize professionals who are leading this critical shift.

“We believe that establishing definitive safety parameters for advanced, autonomous systems is the defining challenge of our generation,” said Nicholas D. Evans, Founder of Thinkers360. “Our mission has always been to measure and amplify authentic expertise. By introducing the AI Safety Certification alongside our existing agentic and governance credentials, we are giving global leaders a verified mechanism to demonstrate their commitment to a pro-human technological future.”

The critical importance of prioritizing safety over unchecked development is underscored by recent data and advocacy from the Future of Life Institute (FLI):

• Overwhelming Public Consensus: FLI polling reveals that 73% of people favor robust regulation on advanced AI, while 64% believe superhuman AI should not be developed until it is definitively proven safe and controllable.

• System-Level & Agentic Risks: As highlighted in recent global AI risk assessments, today’s most severe operational vulnerabilities occur at the system level. With agentic AI actively expanding the digital attack surface and integrating into critical infrastructure, the market demand for certified safety professionals has never been higher.

• The Pro-Human Path: Thinkers360’s framework aligns with the global movement toward trustworthy AI that actively amplifies human dignity, liberty, and capability, rather than concentrating unaccountable power.

An Invitation to Global Experts: Build and Amplify Your Professional Authority

Unlike traditional certifications that rely on static, multiple-choice testing, Thinkers360’s credentialing ecosystem utilizes a proprietary, patented algorithm. This algorithm measures an individual’s professional authority objectively by analyzing their complete, authentic “body of work”, including published articles, whitepapers, presentations, books, and strategies.

Thinkers360 is issuing a global invitation to both its existing community and external professionals looking to elevate their market presence:

• For Existing Members: Log in to update your professional portfolios with your latest articles, presentations, and strategies regarding AI safety or risk mitigation to claim your new digital badge.

• For New Members & Industry Experts: If you are a consultant, researcher, corporate executive, or academic working in AI alignment and safety, join the Thinkers360 platform to formalize your credentials, showcase your expertise to enterprise clients, and actively amplify your thought leadership alongside the world’s top tech and business strategists.

The AI Safety credentials will be awarded across three progressive tiers to reflect varying depths of impact and contribution:

• Certified Expert (Bronze Tier)

• Master Expert (Silver Tier)

• Elite Expert (Gold Tier)
