International Council for Human-Aligned Intelligence
(ICHAI)

A neutral, independent advisory body supporting the governance of human–intelligence interaction.

The International Council for Human-Aligned Intelligence (ICHAI) is an independent, non-profit advisory body established to support the responsible governance of intelligent and algorithmically mediated systems in relation to human cognition, autonomy, and dignity.

ICHAI provides interpretive guidance, advisory insight, and stewardship for voluntary global frameworks addressing how intelligence systems interact with human decision-making and behaviour.

ICHAI does not exercise regulatory, enforcement, or licensing authority.

Purpose

As intelligent systems increasingly influence education, work, communication, and civic life, ICHAI exists to support careful, proportionate, and human-centred governance through:

  • Independent interpretation of global reference frameworks
  • Cross-sector advisory dialogue
  • Publication of guidance and discussion papers
  • Stewardship of non-binding principles

Independence

ICHAI operates independently of:

  • Governments
  • Political parties
  • Corporate control
  • Technology vendors

Its role is advisory, not regulatory.
