An open, multi-stakeholder collection of AI ethics and governance statements — submitted by academics, policymakers, practitioners, and civil society organisations worldwide, and synthesised into GRACE, the open global AI governance standard.
The Consensus repository is the input base for GRACE. It is an open collection of statements, position papers, letters, and opinion pieces on AI ethics and governance — submitted by individuals, organisations, and institutions across geographies and sectors.
Unlike AI governance frameworks produced by a single lab, government, or standards body, the Consensus is designed to be genuinely multi-stakeholder. Contributions come from academics and researchers, AI practitioners and developers, deployers, policymakers, regulators, civil society organisations, and individuals with a stake in how AI is governed. The result is a corpus that reflects ground-level reality rather than frontier AI optimism or a single institutional perspective.
All submissions are publicly browsable at edyant.com/consensus and stored in an open GitHub repository at github.com/edyantlabs/consensus.
Every edition of GRACE is synthesised from the accumulated submissions in the Consensus repository. When Edyant publishes a new version of GRACE, it draws on the full body of contributed academic papers, policy documents, position papers, and individual statements to define the principles, policies, guidelines, and guardrails that edition establishes.
This means that contributing to the Consensus is contributing directly to the standard that practitioners adopt, academics cite, and policymakers reference. The Consensus is not a comment box — it is the source material.
The Consensus is open to anyone with a considered view on AI ethics and governance. Submissions are welcome from:
There is no minimum credential required. The Consensus is designed to capture perspectives that are underrepresented in frontier AI governance conversations — not just those already at the table.
Submitting to the Consensus is straightforward. Download the sample statement template from the public GitHub repository, prepare your statement, and email it to consensus@edyant.com.
