Governance

  • OASIS Open hosts CoSAI’s standards process

  • A2A Protocol now under Linux Foundation governance (150+ supporting organizations)

Origin

CoSAI was founded in 2024 when Google donated its SAIF Risk Map and Risk Assessment to the consortium. This transition from a single-vendor framework (Google SAIF) to a multi-stakeholder collaborative is analogous to how OpenID Foundation or FIDO Alliance operate.

CSAI Foundation

The CSAI Foundation (March 23, 2026) is a new 501(c)(3) spun from CSA (separate from CoSAI) with six strategic programs including an AI Risk Observatory. This is a distinct entity from CoSAI.
