Training artificial intelligence on Gaia
EARTH CODES DATA COMMONS
We discovers, discusses and safeguards data that will be the basis for visualizing and designing our collective regenerative future.
How do we train AI on what will restore and maintain a regenerative planet?
Find the data that reflects the reality of nature. Ask permission from those who steward and research it. Prepare it. Make it available to the AI toolmakers. Repeat.
However, the majority of ecological knowledge that could help heal our planet is locked away in inaccessible of unpublished format. AI systems are being trained without this critical intelligence.
Moreover, Indigenous communities who hold millennia of knowledge about life, relationships and stewardships, are excluded from shaping AI datasets. Our data is extracted without consent, our voices are missing, and our rights are not recognized.
We have the solution. It is called ECDC ECOSYSTEM.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
KOGI PROJECT
Despite centuries of attempted colonization and assimilation, the Kogi have largely maintained their autonomy and biocultural harmony through strong cultural identity, and intricately intertwined spiritual-political governance model over social, economic and natural systems.
Help Kogi Indigenous peoples of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (Colombia) reclaim and regenerate their ancestral land and traditional knowledge systems.
Fiscal Sponsorship for ICEERS
Since its inception, ICEERS has studied and closely accompanied the complexities and challenges of the globalization of traditional Indigenous medicines, including Western societies’ engagement with such medicines and the cultures they are a part of. This work is emergent, inter-relational, and complex in its very nature.
World Ayahuasca Forum
September 11-13 | 2026 Pre-forum Events 09-10 Sept in Catalonia, SPAIN
World Ayahuasca Forum gathering invites people from all corners of the world—in all their diversity: scientists, policymakers, Indigenous spiritual leaders and knowledge keepers, artists, facilitators, integrators, and participants; everyone with an interest in ayahuasca—to come together to share experiences, exchange knowledges, and build deep alliances.
AI = Recipe.

Ingredient
Just like chefs, data scientists and engineers need good ingredients. Even the finest tools and fanciest techniques will not save you if you have poor-quality ingredients.
Ultra-processed junk food deprives the body of nourishment in the same way vastly incomplete data sets do to our culture and planet. The Earthcodes Data Commons exists to fill in the gaps which would otherwise erase the digital participation of those who hold Earth’s regenerative knowledge/data — e.g. indigenous communities and paywalled scientists.
