Ethical Governance Compass

Defining the next generation of integrity indices for sovereign AI and emerging quantum environments.

Abstract graphic representing the Ethical Governance Compass Initiative.

Strategic Purpose

As AI and Quantum computing move from research labs to mission-critical infrastructure, governance must evolve from "principles" to "precision." The Compass is our proactive framework for establishing trust, safety, and accountability in high-consequence environments.

Key Focus Areas

  • Sovereign AI Sovereignty: Protecting national and corporate IP from leakage while maintaining AI performance.
  • Quantum Resistance: Encryption standards and governance for post-quantum cryptographic transitions.
  • Algorithmic Integrity: Independent audit standards for automated decisioning and risk management.

Guiding Principles

Transparency & Explainability
Human Oversight (Human-in-the-loop)
Data Privacy & Security
Ethical Fairness & Bias Mitigation
Environmental Sustainability
