Our AI Initiative

Building an interdisciplinary community to understand AI's human impact and create accessible resources for everyone. Using diverse perspectives to develop technology more sustainably and ethically.

Why This Matters

The Challenge

AI is changing our world rapidly. It affects how we create art, how communities access opportunities, how we work, and how we connect with each other. But most people don't understand how AI works or how it impacts their lives.

Meanwhile, the people building AI systems often lack diverse perspectives from sociology, ethics, environmental science, and the communities most affected by these technologies.

Our Approach

We're bringing together people from all backgrounds to build understanding through research and community dialogue. Not just tech experts, but artists, social scientists, ethicists, students, community members, and anyone who cares.

Together, we're creating resources that make AI accessible and understandable, while conducting research that explores its true impact on humanity.

What We're Building
