AI governance has been one of the most significant challenges of our time. and yet, most of the key conversations around it are happening within legislative halls and regulatory frameworks. this project starts differently: it acknowledges that humankind has always built and practiced powerful ways of organising collective life, negotiating power, maintaining accountability, and caring for current and future generations. these ways of knowing, being, and doing deserve a seat at the table.

this project draws from a global community of practice and builds an open archive of concepts, worldviews, philosophies, ideas, approaches, and ways of being that can inform pluralistic approaches to AI governance. each concept we document carries insights about interdependence, responsibility, and flourishing that no policy brief alone can capture.

this is an invitation to think differently about who gets to shape AI, and what knowledge counts. this archive is built in two ways: one, through secondary research, and two, through live labs that bring together people united by a common interest or area of work to engage and build approaches to governance informed by the wisdom of their shared area of focus.
