As AI systems become more autonomous and increasingly embedded in critical decision-making, translating governance policies into practical, enforceable technical safeguards remains a major challenge. To help bridge this gap, Red Hat has launched the open source community project asago (AI Safety And Governance Orchestration) together with a coalition of partners.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An open framework for AI governance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Red Hat<\/a>, the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, has formed asago, an open source community project designed to automate how AI governance policies become product-ready, safely deployed AI systems. The project brings together contributors from IBM Research<\/a>, Microsoft<\/a>, MIT Lincoln Laboratory<\/a>, Brave Software<\/a>, North Carolina State University<\/a>, Alquimia AI<\/a>, EvalEval coalition<\/a>, and Interdisciplinary Transformation University Austria (IT:U). Rather than treating governance as a separate compliance exercise, asago aims to embed AI safety and governance directly into the software development lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Developing trustworthy AI requires more than good intentions. It requires governance that can be implemented, verified and continuously maintained. asago was designed to help transform high-level policy into practical engineering workflows. IT:U has a strong background in both the technical and organizational governance of AI, which is why we’re grateful for the opportunity to contribute to asago. We hope it empowers organizations to innovate with confidence while making responsible AI development a practical reality.”<\/em><\/em><\/p>\nBen Wagner<\/a>, Professor of Human Rights and Technology at IT:U<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What is asago?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

asago uses a standardized open source platform and automated workflow to translate complex corporate and regulatory AI governance policies into actual operational controls. This aligns developer flexibility with operator governance across four primary stages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
