Fabric Foundation
A Non-Profit Advancing Open Robotics & AGI
Focused on ecosystem development and real-world deployment.
About
AI systems are rapidly gaining the ability to reason, act, and operate in the physical world. As intelligent machines begin performing essential work across manufacturing, healthcare, education, and daily life, we must ensure they remain aligned with human values and accessible to all.
The Fabric Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to building the governance, economic, and coordination infrastructure that enables humans and intelligent machines to work together safely and productively.

Our Mission
To ensure that intelligent machines broaden human opportunity, remain aligned with human intent, and benefit people everywhere.
Why We Exist
AI is leaving the digital realm and entering the world of atoms. Robots and autonomous agents introduce new challenges—physical safety, real-time decision-making, energy and resource constraints, and interaction with human environments.
Today’s institutions and economic rails were not designed for machine participation. Without new governance frameworks, we risk misalignment, unequal access, and concentration of power.
Today’s institutions and economic rails were not designed for machine participation. Without new governance frameworks, we risk misalignment, unequal access, and concentration of power.
The Foundation exists to:
- Make machine behavior predictable and observable.
- Enable inclusive participation from people, builders, and communities.
- Build open, durable infrastructure for a world where machines act as economic contributors without legal personhood.
What We Do
[ 01 ]
Support Critical Research
We fund and coordinate research on human–machine alignment, interpretability, machine governance, and economic frameworks that accommodate both humans and machines.
[ 02 ]
Build Public-Good Infrastructure
We help develop open systems for:
machine and human identity.
decentralized task allocation and accountability.
location-gated and human-gated payments.
machine-to-machine communication and data conduits.

location-gated and human-gated payments.
machine-to-machine communication and data conduits.
[ 03 ]
Convene Global Stakeholders
We work with policymakers, standards bodies, researchers, and industry leaders to shape the guardrails and norms for deploying intelligent machines at scale.
[ 04 ]
Expand Global Access & Participation
We support tools and programs that allow people everywhere to contribute skills, judgment, and cultural context—whether through tele-operations, education, or local customization of robotics models.
[ 05 ]
Build Public Understanding
We promote awareness of AI and robotics, their trajectory, and the governance decisions that will determine how these technologies shape society.
[ 06 ]
Ensure Long-Term Stewardship
We are structured to serve as a neutral, mission-driven institution that supports the responsible growth of the intelligent machine ecosystem for decades to come.

Our Definition of Success
Success means a world where AI is safe, observable, and aligned;
where people everywhere can participate in and benefit from it;
where power remains decentralized;
and where, even as non-biological cognition advances, humans and machines work together under responsible governance to solve global challenges.
