Download The Federation of Cooperative Intelligence: V1, 111125

This foundational document outlines the strategic, technical, and ethical vision for a democratically governed AI infrastructure built by and for cooperatives. Developed by Principle 6, the CoopAI proposal introduces the key components of the system — Local Agents, the P6 Mediating Agent, and Federated Knowledge Stacks — and explains how these elements form a global Federation of Intelligence where data stays local, but learning is shared.

The proposal also charts the five-phase roadmap from today’s dependency on corporate AI platforms to a future where cooperatives collectively own and govern their own intelligence system. It’s the central reference point for all FICC discussions on architecture, governance, and cooperative ethics.
