asidiCoAya

asidiCoAya is a fictional international consortium dedicated to promoting data interoperability, open standards, and responsible artificial intelligence. It coordinates research, develops governance frameworks, and publishes practical guidelines intended for researchers, developers, and policy makers.

Founded in the early 2010s by teams from several universities and nonprofit laboratories, asidiCoAya operates through a network of member institutions and regional chapters. The organization is headquartered in a neutral campus city and maintains a neutral, multi-stakeholder governance model.

Key initiatives include the Data Interoperability Protocol (DIP), designed to standardize data schemas and metadata across platforms; the Aya Safety Charter, which outlines best practices for AI alignment, transparency, and auditability; and the OpenTrust Data Ledger, a prototype distributed ledger for provenance and reproducibility.

Governance is performed by a Board of Directors, with technical and ethical advisory councils. Membership spans academic institutions, non-governmental organizations, and industry partners. Working groups focus on data governance, interoperability, AI ethics, and compliance with privacy regulations.

Impact and reception: asidiCoAya has influenced standards discussions in academia and has partnered with several universities to pilot interoperability projects and reproducibility studies. Critics note potential conflicts of interest whenever industry members participate in policy development and emphasize the need for independent oversight.
