About
About this initiative
A neutral proposal, looking for an honest answer
The Global Education Alliance is — for now — a question, not an institution. The two source papers describe what a sovereign, AI-powered education infrastructure would have to look like, and why the next twelve months are the window in which the political decision can still be made. This site exists to make that proposal legible to people who are not paid to read PDFs.
Neutrality
No commercial platform funds this site. No political party is behind it. No state has commissioned it. The papers and this site are released under CC BY 4.0 so that anyone — including those who disagree — can quote, translate, adapt or rebut them without asking permission.
The architecture explicitly rejects monopoly control: whoever operates the infrastructure must not control the knowledge. That principle binds the eventual trustee body. It also binds the people advocating for it. The role of this initiative is to argue for the proposal, not to position itself as the future operator.
The proposed trustee structure
The Architecture paper specifies an eighth layer — Trustee Governance — modelled on CERN, ICANN and the multilateral bodies that hold the internet's core protocols in trust. A trustee is responsible for operation, data sovereignty enforcement, access guarantees and the universal STEM core of the Knowledge Graph. It is not responsible for cultural content, didactic decisions or learner evaluation.
The trustee body does not yet exist. The paper proposes a three-phase emergence: an initiating consortium of states and research institutions; an interim foundation; and ultimately an international organisation with a multilateral mandate. The full description is in the Architecture paper, Layer 8.
Contact
Until the initiative formalises, the canonical contact route is the corresponding-author channel on the Zenodo records. Both papers list the author and provide an institutional contact path through Zenodo's record metadata. For substantive engagement — collaboration, translation, critique — that route is preferred over informal channels.
A direct email address for the initiative will be published here once it is established. Until then, please cite the work, send your response through Zenodo, or open the conversation in public — on a blog, in a journal, in a working group.
