Why OCC?

AI regulation is reality —
Knowledge must not be a privilege.

The EU AI Act is in force. ISO 42001 is published. Organizations must demonstrate responsible AI use by 2026. This knowledge is fragmented, often proprietary — OCC democratizes it.

As a foundation, we are independent. No investors, no vendor lock-in. Operated by Intelego GmbH as a non-profit initiative until establishment as a standalone foundation.
