  "account": "New York, October 1, 2026 - The AI Alliance has announced significant advancements for Project Tapestry, a global consortium aiming to develop advanced AI technologies while preserving data sovereignty. During United Nations General Assembly Week in New York, Project Tapestry completed its first technical milestone, demonstrating a new approach to collaborative training of AI models across multiple geographic locations while keeping data local.\n\nVietnam and India have expanded their involvement in Project Tapestry, aligning with their respective national AI strategies and priorities. Vietnam's General Secretary and senior government ministers met with AI Alliance and Project Tapestry leaders to discuss collaboration on a sovereign AI model tailored to Vietnamese language, culture, knowledge, and use cases. India's Consul General hosted Project Tapestry leaders, introducing key figures from BharatGen, a government-backed open-source foundation model stack, and their recent contribution to the consortium.\n\nThe AI Alliance and Project Tapestry are moving towards a new phase, focusing on consortium training, cultural alignment, and data governance, with increasing participation from countries and institutions worldwide. They recently presented research on sovereignty in AI at the First Workshop on Sovereign AI for Collaborative and Pluralistic AI Ecosystems.",
