The Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) is committed to fostering an inclusive, welcoming, and safe environment for everyone involved in the AAIF community. This commitment extends across all Foundation activities, including but not limited to our technical projects, events, communication channels, and social media presence. We pledge to make participation in our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
This Code of Conduct applies to Governing Board meetings, Technical Committee meetings, Working Group meetings, Outreach Committee meetings and any other committee meetings of the Agentic AI Foundation, as well as any other activity of the AAIF that is not otherwise covered by a code of conduct of an applicable technical project.
