Research
Investigating the foundations of human-centered cognitive infrastructure across education, governance, and knowledge systems.
About AEGT
AI EdTech Governance Trust
AEGT is an independent research trust based in New Zealand. We explore how individuals, institutions, and societies can build trustworthy cognitive systems in the age of artificial intelligence.
Our work integrates research, infrastructure development, educational innovation, and governance design.
We are interested in how people learn, reason, decide, and collaborate in environments increasingly shaped by AI systems.
What Makes AEGT Different
Many organizations focus on AI capabilities.
AEGT focuses on human capabilities.
Our goal is to strengthen human cognition — not to optimize AI performance alone. We believe the most important challenge of the AI era is not building smarter machines, but ensuring that human judgment, agency, and reasoning remain meaningful alongside them.
Areas of Work
Our Approach
AEGT combines multiple forms of work across the research-to-practice spectrum.
Open Infrastructure
Developing open frameworks and systems for trustworthy human-AI collaboration that others can build on, critique, and extend.
Pilot Programs
Designing and testing educational and institutional interventions for AI literacy, cognitive agency, and governance.
Cross-Sector Collaboration
We believe meaningful progress requires collaboration between researchers, educators, developers, institutions, and communities.
Looking Ahead
The AI era requires more than better technology. It requires stronger cognitive foundations. AEGT exists to help build those foundations.
