Bridging Policy Intent
and Reality
instantTEA is an open-source research initiative designed to map, analyze, and critique the complex ecosystems of global AI governance.
Our Mission
We aim to provide researchers, activists, and policymakers with the tools to decompose complex legal texts and regulatory frameworks. By visualizing the "assemblages"—the mix of actors, laws, technologies, and ideologies—we reveal where power truly lies.
Our Origin
Born from academic research into "Decolonial Situatedness in Global AI Governance," this project specifically examines the tensions between Western regulatory models (like the EU AI Act) and the unique realities of the Global South (e.g., Brazil's PL 2338).
Core Values
Human-Centric
Technology should serve human rights and dignity, not just efficiency.
Data Sovereignty
Your research data belongs to you. We enable local analysis and deletion.
Critical Openness
Open source code allows anyone to verify our methods and bias.
