The Amani Investor Accord
The future of AI won’t be shaped by technology alone, but by the principles guiding the capital behind it.
What gets funded gets built, scaled and normalised.
The Accord helps investors articulate what should and should not be funded and the standards that should accompany investment in AI.
- 01/Vet the human
Technology reflects the people behind it. We commit to assessing integrity, judgement and leadership before capital is committed.
- 02/Fund what benefits humanity
We commit to backing AI that strengthens human capability, protects human agency and serves the public interest, not AI that exploits, deceives or surveils.
- 03/Require accountability
We commit to insisting on meaningful human accountability, clear escalation paths and credible intervention mechanisms in the AI systems we fund.
- 04/Avoid concentration
We commit to assessing AI supplier concentration across portfolios, recognising that overreliance on a small number of providers creates systemic risk, not ordinary vendor risk.
- 05/Protect the mission
We commit to seeking proportionate mechanisms that help preserve core principles through acquisitions, mergers, public listings and other material liquidity events.
The Amani Investor Accord helps keep capital, governance and long-term responsibility aligned as AI ventures grow.
