Building the Trust Foundation for the AI Economy
The Promise of AI Depends on Trust.
An Industry-Academia-Government Consortium convened by Striv.ai, building the open standards and shared knowledge for the Era of Networked Intelligence.
Joining us from
This is a special opportunity to enable safe AI adoption and shape the future of trustworthy AI.
Enabling the AI Economy Requires a Foundation of Trust
We are in a new 'Era of Networked Intelligence.' Traditional risk management can't keep up with AI's operational speed. To counter new threat vectors and protect data, IP, and user safety, we are building a new foundational trust strata through collaborative research, technology, and governance.
Our Mission: Build the Trust Ecosystem for AI to Serve Humanity
Our mission is to build a collaborative ecosystem that accelerates trustworthy AI. We connect researchers, industry, and strategic partners to build the practical, real-world standards and technology for the AI economy.
Opportunity Creation
Our consortium serves as a "matchmaker" between industry, research, academia and the public sector.
We connect researchers to real-world data, funding, and use cases. We provide industry and public partners with a talent, IP, and research pipeline, along with the latest policy insights. We are accepting inquiries for select Founding Partner leadership positions.

Key Research Themes
We are more than a standards body; we bridge academic research with operational implementation. This is an open call to collaborate on solving real-world problems. We are actively forming working groups for these core themes.
Agent Trust & Governance
Core R&D Theme
Defining new permission models, authorization frameworks, and governance protocols for "agentic AI" and multi-agent systems. How do we ensure autonomous agents act within defined boundaries and align with human intent?
AI Model & Risk Auditing
Core R&D Theme
Developing practical, scalable "test beds" and auditing methodologies to verify AI model claims. This includes standards for monitoring model drift, data integrity, and uniform risk measurement across diverse systems.
Open Protocol Development
Collaborative Working Group
An open call for collaboration on a protocol for verifiable AI trust. We are seeking partners to join our efforts to define a common language and framework for AI attestation, security, and data provenance for the AI economy.
