Uniting the world’s largest and most regulated institutions to advance the adoption of AI at scale.

As the primary integrator, we extend and build the necessary and demanded integrations that each member would build alone.

FOUNDING MEMBERS

About the Consortium

The systems that govern, accelerate, and scale AI are among the most consequential investments of this era and should be owned by the organizations that depend on them. The AI Consortium develops and integrates capabilities, critical intellectual property, patents, and governance standards to build assets that its members use or own outright and in perpetuity.

Our Executive Board

The AI Consortium was built by four organizations that understand, from
the inside, what it means to govern technology at institutional scale.

The Consortium model

Built once, used in perpetuity. The Consortium pools deep domain expertise into assets its members own outright - governed, sovereign, and shared.

Ownership

The systems that govern and scale AI should be owned by the institutions that depend on them — built once, as assets members own outright and in perpetuity.

Acceleration

By pooling deep domain experts and engineering effort into one environment, we accelerate what each organization would otherwise build alone.

Integration

As primary integrator, we build the integrations each member is obligated to — so no institution has to build them alone.
