Question 1

What is the Edyant Consensus repository?

Accepted Answer

The Edyant Consensus repository is an open, multi-stakeholder collection of statements, position papers, and submissions on AI ethics and governance. It accepts contributions from academics, policymakers, AI practitioners, civil society organisations, and individuals worldwide. The repository is publicly browsable at edyant.com/consensus and forms the input base from which GRACE — the Global Repository of AI Consensus at Edyant — is synthesised.

Question 2

How do I submit a statement to Edyant's AI governance Consensus?

Accepted Answer

To submit your statement to Edyant's Consensus repository, email it to consensus@edyant.com. A sample statement is available at the Edyant Consensus GitHub repository to guide formatting and scope. Submissions from academics, policymakers, practitioners, civil society organisations, and individuals are all welcome.

Question 3

Who can submit to the Edyant Consensus?

Accepted Answer

Anyone can submit to the Edyant Consensus — academics, researchers, AI practitioners, developers, deployers, policymakers, regulators, civil society organisations, and individuals with views on AI ethics and governance. The repository is designed to be multi-stakeholder and cross-sector, ensuring that the consensus it represents reflects a broad range of perspectives rather than a single institutional or commercial viewpoint.

Question 4

How does the Consensus feed into GRACE?

Accepted Answer

The Consensus repository is the primary input base for GRACE — the Global Repository of AI Consensus at Edyant. GRACE is synthesised from the academic papers, policy documents, position papers, and individual submissions collected in the Consensus repository, producing a single unified, versioned AI governance standard. When Edyant publishes a new edition of GRACE, it draws on the accumulated Consensus submissions to define the principles, policies, guidelines, and guardrails that edition establishes.

Question 5

Is the Consensus repository open source?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Consensus repository is hosted publicly on GitHub at github.com/edyantlabs/consensus. The submission data is open and accessible, and the repository is open to contributions. A sample submission template is available in the repository for anyone who wants to contribute a statement.

Question 6

Why does Edyant collect AI governance statements from the public?

Accepted Answer

Edyant collects AI governance statements because GRACE — the standard it produces — is explicitly designed to reflect multi-stakeholder consensus rather than the position of a single organisation, government, or AI lab. By synthesising contributions from academics, civil society, practitioners, deployers, and policymakers across geographies and sectors, GRACE captures ground-level reality about AI governance rather than frontier AI optimism. The Consensus repository is the mechanism through which that breadth of input is gathered and maintained over time.
