Autonomy
Deciding which technology to use and how, without being locked in.
Cooperative
A cooperative AI project
A cooperative technology project in the process of being constituted.
AJUTIA is a project based in Terres de l’Ebre preparing to become a cooperative. Products and connections are at different stages of development and verification; availability must be checked for each service.
The model
AJUTIA aims to become a cooperative, giving people and organisations more say in the technology they use. We want local needs to guide service development.
We propose participatory governance, clear information about costs and dependencies, and portability that can be tested. These commitments need specific rules, resources and responsibilities.
Incorporation, bylaws and participation arrangements still need to be formalised. We will publish verified information when it is available.
Purpose
To support compliance, work and useful AI: understandable, responsible and sustainable. We do not promise guaranteed legal compliance or savings; guidance is a starting point for professional review.
Values
Privacy
Own data, minimal permissions and the right to export.
Traceability
Knowing what each tool does and being able to review it.
Accessibility
Plain language and design everyone can use.
Interoperability
Open interfaces and interchangeable providers.
Sustainability
Visible costs and resources that last.
Creative diversity
Each territory and trade brings its own solutions.
Services
Each service is at a different stage of development and verification. Availability must be checked for each one.
Portal
Public information, diagnostic and contact. This is where you are now.
Documentary and operational support
Support for compliance and deployment, with human review when enabled.
Web, QR and voice assistants
Assistants in development. Unverified voice capabilities are not presented as available.
Pilots
Trials with organisations and territorial projects. Each pilot is designed and evaluated.
Open sovereignty
Interchangeable providers
No mandatory lock-in to a single provider; interchangeability must be testable.
Exportable data
Each organisation can take its data with them.
Minimal permissions
Only the data needed for each function.
Single writer per resource
One writer per resource to prevent write conflicts.
Proposed governance
Governance still needs to be formalised. The proposal includes:
Promoting persons
Those driving the project and making initial decisions.
Participation
Voices of users and builders.
Human review
A person reviews before irreversible actions, when enabled.
Gates
Design, test, pilot and production: each stage has criteria before moving to the next.
Three invitations
Different audiences with different commitments. None implies automatic membership.
Promoting persons
For those who want to drive the cooperative constitution.
ContactPilot organisations
For councils, companies and entities that want to trial a service.
Request pilotTechnology and institutional allies
For those who want to collaborate with resources or knowledge.
Contact
Customer or member
Using a service and becoming a cooperative member are different relationships. Commercial terms must be defined for each service; membership rights and requirements will be published when formalised. You can currently express interest in participating without joining.
Strategic references
The project takes as reference the priorities of Spain's IA360 Plan and the European Union's Apply AI and Digital Decade 2030 strategies. Taking them as reference does not imply adhesion, funding, endorsement or certification by these administrations. The IA360 Plan announces initiatives such as the NEURONA Network or a future AI voucher; AJUTIA is not listed as an adhered, selected, funded or endorsed entity in any of them.
