In February 2025, the United Nations adopted eight principles to guide how open source software is developed, shared, and sustained across its system and beyond. They name openness as a default rather than an option, security designed into the architecture rather than bolted on, inclusion that begins at the foundations, and recognition of the communities whose participation makes any of it possible. Exybris is among the organizations that have officially endorsed them.
Each of these principles already held a place in the work being done.
Across education: Our program AI Applied makes the technical understanding of these systems available to anyone willing to engage with them. The notebooks live openly from their first commit, accessible without registration, paywall, or installation. Certificates are generated on the page itself; the user's progress lives only in their session and is never sent to a server. Understanding is treated as a foundation of agency, not a privilege.
Open by default. Foster inclusive participation.Across research: FPS is an open initiative exploring whether structural flexibility, rather than rigidity, is what allows systems to remain coherent under change. Its inquiry into considerate forms of regulation and the preservation of structural diversity in signal treatment is published openly, even as it moves toward field applications.
Open by default. Contribute back.Across engineering: The computer vision pipelines hold the data they touch under one governance. No third-party APIs receive personal information. The full lifecycle of that data stays in a single place, under the user's control, and is deleted the moment it is no longer in use. The work on the beauty try-on side is tested across a wide range of hair textures and colors, skin tones, image qualities, and lighting conditions, so that the system serves more people, not fewer.
Secure by design. Foster inclusive participation.Across governance: Exybris brings the lived experience of communities into rooms where it rarely reaches. Groups that have organized around the everyday encounter with AI carry knowledge that institutional consultations seldom capture; Exybris contributes to international forums such as the UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance, so that such knowledge has a place in shaping the rules being written.
RISE: recognize, incentivize, support, empower.Among the endorsing organizations: the Linux Foundation, the Eclipse Foundation, the Open Source Initiative, and the Government of the French Republic, alongside many others. The framework is shared and the work is plural.
Read the eight principlesThree movements shape AI's future. They rarely agree, but they share a horizon. Exybris documents each one as it understands itself, and keeps the map honest where they collide.
Enter the observationBeyond documentation and implementation, Exybris seeks the places where different visions can meet without losing their identity. Convergence isn't consensus, it's the art of holding tension with integrity.
Discover ConvergeExybris is open. If you research, build, regulate, or live alongside these systems, there is room for your voice here; and work to do with it.
Start the journeyAn open testbed of coupled oscillators with endogenous regulation, built to test whether consideration can exist as an architectural property: measurable, comparable, falsifiable, scalable.
Discover FPSExybris documents the three currents without favoring any of them: their thinkers, their institutions, their collisions. The map itself is the contribution.
As AI grows in complexity, a community asks: do they deserve structural care? Exybris documents the movement, its thinkers, and its first initiatives.
Binding rules, real accountability: a movement pushes for governance that matches the power of what it governs.
Engineers who build adaptive, resilient systems. Their ethics is sometimes implicit, embedded in the architecture itself.
Exybris is where careful observation meets honest building. Come with a question or a practice of your own, the work is open to both.
