Current Program:

Earth Codes Data Commons (ECDC)

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.

Here are only some of the data areas we are currently researching, acquiring, requesting, licensing, tagging, preparing, etc for the ECDC:

  • Biomimicry

  • Indigenous Knowledge

  • Geology

  • Biophysics

  • Gaia Theory

  • Atmospheric Gas Exchange

  • DNA

  • Astrobiology

  • Foreign Languages

Indigenous Knowledge

Earth Codes Data Commons (ECDC) Data Spotlight

The Indigenous Data Warrior program is one important part of the growing Earth Codes Data Commons (ECDC).

The Indigenous Data Warriors program envisions a future where all indigenous communities have “data sovereignty” and govern their own data. In this regenerative future, indigenous communities will not only be credited when their knowledge is used in AI tools, but monetary compensation will flow smoothly to those who have stewarded knowledge for millennia; data that is needed for humanity’s collective regenerative future.
