Nuklai joins cheqd, Datagram, and DataHive as founding members of the Sovereign AI Alliance to build decentralized, user-owned, intention-driven AI.
We're proud to announce Nuklai's role as a founding member of the Sovereign AI Alliance (SAIA): a new initiative formed alongside DataHive, cheqd, and Datagram. Together, we are creating the foundation for a decentralized, open-source AI ecosystem powered by user-owned data.
This collaboration is rooted in a shared vision: shifting from an extractive, platform-driven AI landscape to one where human intention is the starting point and user sovereignty is the standard.
Reimagining AI Through User Sovereignty and Decentralized Data
At Nuklai, our role is to provide the infrastructure for decentralized data collaboration. Today’s AI systems depend on centralized data silos, a model that limits innovation, introduces bias, and leaves users with little control. Our technology enables cross-organization collaboration on data while preserving ownership, transparency, and auditability. This is critical for building AI that is open, trusted, and aligned with real human needs.
The Sovereign AI Alliance introduces the Intention Network Protocol (INP), a universal framework where AI agents can communicate and act based on user intent, not algorithmic manipulation. The protocol includes:
Intention Anchors: Secure interfaces between users and AI agents
Intention Mesh: Infrastructure that connects AI systems without compromising data control
Execution Nodes: Modular AI agents that carry out tasks aligned with user instructions
The roadmap includes developing decentralized data storage standards, on-chain AI models, agent-to-agent transaction protocols, and governance systems that resist centralization.
This alliance is about building the systems we actually want to use: systems that serve people, respect data rights, and unlock collaboration at scale.
We’re excited to help shape the post-web era of AI. SAIA is open to new contributors and partners starting Q3 2025.
More to come soon.
