Manifest of the AI Governance Observatory

Our Manifest presents the fundamental commitments and principles that define our approach to responsible AI governance. It outlines what we advocate and uphold as essential for ethical, accountable, and transparent integration of artificial intelligence into society.

Commitment to Ethical Responsibility

AI must respect fundamental rights and ethical principles. We promote governance frameworks designed to ensure fairness, non-discrimination, and protection of human dignity.

Transparency and Explainability

Good governance means AI systems and decisions must be transparent, interpretable, and understandable by stakeholders, fostering trust and informed oversight.

Accountability and Oversight

We advocate clear accountability structures ensuring that organizations and individuals are responsible for the development, deployment, and outcomes of AI systems.

Inclusive Dialogue and Participation

Effective governance integrates diverse perspectives. We support ongoing dialogue between experts, industry, civil society, and impacted communities to guide AI in serving the public interest.
