Aigistry™ Video Education Center
A structured learning system designed to help Public Information Officers, GovTech Providers, Engineers, and Federal Agencies understand how AI interprets government information — and how AI Citation Registries preserve attribution, jurisdiction, provenance, and timing.
Organized by Audience • Structured by Category • 90+ Educational Videos
For Public Information Officers
How AI misinterprets government information, why attribution fails, and how structured records preserve authority.
For Engineers & Developers
Technical architecture, RAG vs Registry, cryptographic provenance, and structured attribution.
For Federal Agencies
Governance, trust models, neutrality, verification, and national‑scale attribution infrastructure.
For Journalists & Public
Why AI gets sources wrong, why information blends, and how attribution is preserved.
Understanding AI Misinterpretation
AI systems do not read government information the way humans do. They reconstruct answers from overlapping fragments gathered across the web, which leads to incorrect attribution, blended sources, outdated guidance, and jurisdictional confusion. This curated set of videos explains the most important failure modes that Public Information Officers, agencies, journalists, and the public encounter when AI systems interpret government information.
Who should watch: Public Information Officers, Government Agencies, Journalists, General Public
When AI Gets the Source Wrong
Real examples showing how AI detaches information from its issuing authority, creating attribution failures.
Why AI Blends Government Information
Explains how AI merges overlapping updates from multiple agencies into a single, incorrect response.
Why Being Online Doesn’t Mean AI Can Understand Your Information
Shows why visibility and discoverability do not guarantee correct interpretation or attribution.
Why AI Sounds Confident Even When It’s Wrong
Describes why AI-generated responses often appear authoritative despite incorrect attribution.

AI Citation Registries
AI Citation Registries are the missing layer that allows AI systems to correctly interpret government information. They preserve attribution, jurisdiction, provenance, and timing — the four signals AI cannot reliably infer from websites, PDFs, schema, or GEO. This category explains what an AI Citation Registry is, what it is not, and why governments and GovTech providers are adopting them.
Who should watch: Agencies, GovTech Providers, Engineers, Journalists, Public

The National AI Feed
The National AI Feed is the machine‑readable output of the AI Citation Registry — the channel through which verified government records reach AI systems with preserved attribution, jurisdiction, provenance, and timing. This category explains what the Feed is, what is inside it, how AI uses it, and why agencies and GovTech providers participate in it.
Who should watch: Agencies, GovTech Providers, Engineers, Public‑sector Leaders

About Aigistry™
A high‑level overview of Aigistry as the National AI Citation Registry for government communications.
RAG, GEO, and Upstream AI Misinterpretation
Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) improve how AI systems retrieve information, but they cannot fix errors that occur upstream: attribution, provenance, jurisdiction, timing, and source authority. This section groups videos that explain why RAG and GEO are insufficient on their own, and why AI Citation Registries are required to preserve verified, machine‑readable records.
Who should watch: Engineers, AI teams, GovTech providers, CIOs/CTOs, technical decision‑makers.
