A standing organization for the people, institutions, and movements building the planetary republic — watchdog, advocate, research network, and amplifier of the alternative.
A doctrine without an institution decays into a tweet. The Planetary Republic is the philosophical reply to the techno-elite consolidation. The AI Public Interest Alliance is the operational vehicle that turns that reply into procurement pressure, regulatory comments, legal action, research, and capital alignment.
It's not a vibe. It carries operational weight in FTC and FCC proceedings, court standing, and the funder vocabulary that shapes Ford, MacArthur, Omidyar, and Knight Foundation grant cycles. We chose it deliberately.
Palantir has a brand. Anduril has a recruiting pipeline. a16z has American Dynamism. The defense-tech cohort built their organizations first and won the narrative second. We are correcting the asymmetry.
Time-bound fights — the Autonomous Weapons Coalition, the Surveillance Procurement Coalition, the AI Labor Coalition — operate as named campaigns inside the Alliance. The umbrella persists; the coalitions intensify around specific battles.
The Alliance holds signatures, publishes research, files comments, runs the watchdog tracker, and convenes funders. AI for Planet is the constructive arm — the catalog. They reinforce each other: the Alliance defines what we're against, AI for Planet shows what we're for.
Four operational lines. Each has its own deliverables, its own cadence, and its own measurable output. None is symbolic.
The Planetary Republic is the founding document. The Alliance holds the signature roll, expands the coalition across professions and borders, and coordinates allied voices when the next defense contract or surveillance proposal hits the news cycle.
Public, regularly updated record of the firms, executives, contracts, and political networks that are directing AI capital toward weapons, surveillance, and democratic capture. Sourced from FedBizOpps, USAspending.gov, and investigative press.
Comments to FTC, FCC, NIST, the EU AI Office, and state AI rulemaking bodies. Friend-of-the-court briefs in landmark AI litigation. Coordinated policy responses when proposed regulations would tilt the field toward extraction or surveillance.
Aligned research from member institutions on AI's environmental cost, labor impacts, civic harms, and constructive applications. Funder convening — Ford, MacArthur, Omidyar, Knight, Wellcome, Schmidt — to direct catalytic capital toward the AI for Planet catalog.
A short, illustrative slice of the tracker. The full register is sourced from public procurement records and investigative reporting, and is published openly so policymakers, journalists, and clients can see who is shaping the AI age behind the rhetoric.
// SAMPLE — full tracker publishes Q4 2026, with primary-source contract documentation per entry.
The Alliance is an institution under construction. Founding participation is open to people whose work and values align — not by gatekeeping, by direction.
The Planetary Republic is open for signature. Practitioners, scholars, technologists, organizers, journalists, funders, and policymakers all welcome.
If you have an idea that fits the directory's domains, submit it. The Alliance amplifies projects with traction and aligned values.
Member institutions and independent researchers can publish into the Alliance's research stream. Public comments and amicus briefs are co-signed where there's alignment.
Catalytic capital is needed for staffing the tracker, running the policy desk, and underwriting fellowships in the catalog. Funder conversations are ongoing.
Time-bound campaigns — Autonomous Weapons, Surveillance Procurement, AI Labor — operate inside the Alliance. If you can lead one, propose it.
The Alliance is the institutional spine of the planetary republic. Sign the manifesto, submit your idea, or open a conversation about funding or convening.
