As of October 2025, the Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) is now an active member of the AI Alliance. The AI Alliance is an international initiative dedicated to the open, secure, and responsible development of artificial intelligence. Its goal is to advance AI research and innovation collaboratively - transparent, ethical, and for the benefit of society. More than 100 members from companies, universities, research institutions, government agencies, and non-profits work together to democratize access to AI technologies and strengthen trust in their development.
The focus is on projects that provide secure development tools, promote open foundation models, and support education, research, and awareness about the opportunities, risks, and regulation of AI. The alliance is committed to open collaboration to promote global standards, pool resources, and create a diverse ecosystem for responsible AI development.
By joining the alliance, MPDL brings Max Planck Society's perspective on trusted and open data to this international exchange, while also strengthening its visibility and networking within the global AI community.
As its first major contribution, MPDL is providing the alliance with access to bloxberg: a tamper-proof, decentralized blockchain for time-stamping, certifying, and verifying the provenance of research data and results. This will create sustainable partnerships and valuable foundations for future initiatives.
With its involvement in the AI Alliance, the MPDL is actively contributing to the advancement of open, transparent, and trustworthy AI ecosystems worldwide.
