Foundation overview

Building an open, global coalition.

We align research institutions, industry leaders, and policymakers to advance safe, interoperable agentic AI through shared standards and funding.

Our mission

Enable open, safe, and useful agentic AI for society.

We coordinate standards, funding, and governance so that builders across the world can create trustworthy agentic systems—independent, interoperable, and aligned with human values.

Open protocols

We maintain open specifications for agent messaging, identity, safety, and data stewardship so ecosystems can interoperate.

Safety & assurance

We convene researchers to define benchmarks, threat models, and red-team exercises for autonomous systems.

Inclusive governance

We bring civil society, academia, and industry together to shape transparent, accountable governance.

Strategic pillars

What we build together.

From technical standards to public-private collaboration, we focus on the capabilities that make agentic AI reliable, transparent, and universally accessible.

Infrastructure

Reference architecture

Open-source blueprints for memory, planning, and evaluation layers that teams can adopt and extend.

  • Composable agent lifecycle models
  • Secure tool & data access controls
  • Shared telemetry for safety signals
Standards

Interoperability & trust

Specifications and conformance suites that let agent networks collaborate across vendors and jurisdictions.

  • Open agent interface spec (OAIS)
  • Identity, provenance, and auditability
  • Safety, alignment, and resilience benchmarks
Impact

Ecosystem programs

Fellowships, grants, and summits that accelerate open-source agentic AI and real-world deployments.

  • Builder residencies & red-team labs
  • Global policy and safety forums
  • Open datasets & evaluation challenges
