AI Alliance Launches Dana, OpenDXA, and AI Alliance Japan to Advance Open-Source, Industrial AI
The AI Alliance, a global non-profit consortium championing open-source AI, today announced major new initiatives aimed at redefining how software and intelligent agents are built. The launch includes:
- Dana, the first AI-native programming language
- OpenDXA, a framework for building industrial AI agent systems
- AI Alliance Japan, a regional group supporting AI sovereignty and industrial applications in Japan
These projects aim to accelerate the development of explainable, domain-specific, and sovereign AI through open collaboration.
Dana: A New AI-Powered Programming Language
Developed by Aitomatic and introduced by AI Alliance, Dana represents a paradigm shift from AI-assisted to AI-native software development.
“What if an AI-powered language could understand what you’re trying to accomplish?” asked Christopher Nguyen, CEO of Aitomatic and creator of Dana. “Dana moves us from writing code line-by-line to intent-driven development.”
With Dana, users describe what they want to build, and the language handles the how—automating implementation while remaining interpretable and fault-tolerant. This evolution enables developers and domain experts to collaborate on complex systems without being limited by conventional syntax and structure.
OpenDXA: The First Agent Framework for Industrial AI
OpenDXA is the first open-source agent framework purpose-built for complex, industrial-grade AI systems. It supports integration of highly specialized domain knowledge, expert workflows, and structured data into intelligent agents—essential for applications like manufacturing, semiconductors, and energy.
Unlike black-box AI systems, OpenDXA emphasizes:
- Explainability and determinism
- Prompt optimization and fault tolerance
- Meta-agents that collaborate with engineers and experts
Led by Aitomatic and supported by other AI Alliance members, OpenDXA aims to bring AI closer to real-world, industrial use cases that require rigorous standards and domain-specific customization.
AI Alliance Japan: Advancing Sovereign AI in Japan
The AI Alliance also announced the launch of AI Alliance Japan, a new working group focused on open, sovereign AI development tailored to Japan’s cultural and economic landscape.
Founding members include:
- Mitsubishi Electric
- National Institute of Informatics (NII)
- SAKURA internet Inc.
- Alongside existing AI Alliance members such as IBM, Panasonic, NEC, Red Hat, and Aitomatic
Key initiatives will focus on:
- Developing sovereign AI agents, models, and data frameworks
- Supporting open-source R&D for industrial AI, including applications in manufacturing, logistics, and navigation
- Providing technical support for national projects like LLM-jp, Japan’s open-source sovereign large language model initiative
AI Alliance Japan will leverage international expertise and infrastructure while empowering local innovation aligned with Japan’s data governance and industrial priorities.
A Collaborative Path to AI Sovereignty and Trust
Together, Dana, OpenDXA, and AI Alliance Japan reflect a broader commitment to open innovation, explainability, and human-centric AI systems that work collaboratively with domain experts—not just replace them.
By targeting industrial AI and sovereign infrastructure, the AI Alliance is positioning open-source frameworks as core pillars of the next AI era—where transparency, control, and domain expertise matter as much as raw model power.
