About Us

Based in Geneva, the Trustless Computing Association (TCA) is an impartial, non-profit organisation committed to enhancing the safety, liberty, democratic oversight, and accountability of digital communications and AI. 

Since our inception in 2015, we have focused on building a consensus for establishing new, open, and participatory intergovernmental bodies for digital communications. Such organisations aim to develop and certify more trustworthy and secure end-to-end IT systems essential for confidential communication and managing critical AI, social media, and other vital societal infrastructures.

Our unique approach combines robust, tested, and time-proven trustless technical, socio-technical, and governance systems inspired by the trustworthiness paradigms of democratic constitutions, electoral processes, and citizen-jury systems.

In June, 2023, in response to AI’s growing challenges and opportunities, TCA initiated the Harnessing AI Risk Initiative to foster an open coalition to initiate an efficient, participatory, expert-led and timely constituent processes leading up to their creation of new global intergovernmental organisations for AI and digital communications

Governance of our association is vested in designated bodies, each composed of three members with equal voting rights, ensuring decisions align with our foundational principles.
