Key Concepts

Understanding Our Mission

Data Sovereignty

Empowers individuals and entities with full rights over their data including access, control, sharing, and monetization. Data ownership and value generation is held by the original data creators.

Sovereign AI

AI programming architected to replicate the human user digitally, ensuring it aligns closely with the values of each individual and enterprise user and making decisions that reflect and follow the commands and controls set by its human user(s), ensuring that autonomy remains with the person rather than a third party AI agent.

Value-Based AI Programming

AI programming designed to incorporate human values as a core part of artificial intelligence.

Bridging Worlds for the Common Good

DCF serves as a unique bridge connecting AI and technology actors, global civil society leaders, academic institutions, Nobel Laureates, faith leaders, and governmental bodies. Our role is to help shape a future where data is sovereign and AI interprets and serves the principle of 'Be Human' and advances the common good.

Flagship Initiative

THE BUDAPEST APPEAL

The Budapest Appeal for Digital Ceasefire

The Budapest Appeal for a Cyber Ceasefire and Digital Peace was conceived following discussions regarding a potential high-level summit in Hungary. Budapest — where Domus Communis Foundation maintains an active presence through our Hungarian Foundation — emerged as a natural centerpoint hub, reflecting DCF's mission to foster dialogue across the Global North, South, East, and West. The initiative frames digital de-escalation and peace-building within a Sovereign AI and data sovereignty model, affirming that technological restraint, human dignity, and national agency must advance together. The Budapest Appeal continues as an open initiative, welcoming support from AI actors, global civil society leaders, academia, Nobel Laureates, faith leaders, and institutions committed to peace and the common good.
