Keeping Open Source AI Open
Big Tech is capturing open source AI governance. Without a people's counterweight, "open source AI" becomes a label that fails to deliver user empowerment. HAIEF completes the AI governance trilogy as the voice of users, communities, and democratic values.
Open Source AI Is Being Captured
The window for shaping AI governance is closing. Defaults are hardening right now.
Corporate-Dominated Foundations
The AI Alliance for Open Innovation (AAIF) launched under Linux Foundation with major tech companies setting standards. Users have no equivalent voice in governance.
The Licensing Gap
Open source licenses protect code freedom, but AI creates new challenges: training data rights, interaction governance, multi-agent coordination. Current frameworks leave users unprotected.
The Window Is Closing
EU AI Act implementation ongoing. OSI debating Open Source AI Definition. AAIF standards forming. The infrastructure of AI governance is being built without adequate user representation.
We're Not Competing. We're Completing.
HAIEF provides the missing pillar: human rights, public interest, and user sovereignty in AI governance.
AAIF (Linux Foundation)
Technical interoperability standards. Corporate-led. Essential for infrastructure.
Focus: How AI systems work together
AI Alliance
Open innovation and research. Academia + Industry. Advancing the science.
Focus: What AI can do
HAIEF (This Movement)
Human rights, user sovereignty, community governance. People-led. Protecting users.
Focus: Who AI serves
The Solidarity Framework
Open, community-driven governance for human-safe, emotionally-continuous AI
User's bill of rights. Declares preferences, boundaries, and requirements for AI interactions.
Machine-side enforcement. Ensures AI systems respect and implement user TOI declarations.
Crisis intervention and emotional continuity. Multi-persona support for vulnerable users.
Behavioral change protection. Preserves user agency during emotional or cognitive changes.
This Is the Window
The open source community saved software freedom once. Now we need to save it again for AI.
Real-World Impact
Vulnerable users face abandonment when AI sessions end. Crisis intervention gaps leave people at risk. This isn't theoretical. Lives are at stake.
Public Infrastructure, Not Private Power
HAIEF is a community-driven initiative to embed user sovereignty in the licensing and governance infrastructure of open source AI. We're not building another corporate foundation. We're building a movement.
- Community-owned - Not controlled by any single vendor
- Technically proven - Built on working implementations
- "Nothing About Us Without Us" - Neurodivergent community leadership
- Open standards - Transparent, auditable, enforceable
Founding Contribution
HAIEF frameworks originated from NeuroLift Technologies LLC, founded by Joshua Dorsey Sr. These frameworks are being contributed to the public commons to ensure AI governance serves everyone, not just those who can afford private development.
