Artificial intelligence is already shaping our lives — impacting our jobs, our mental health, our democracy, and our environment. But many people don’t have the tools or knowledge to understand how these systems work, or how to fight back when they cause harm. That’s why we’re launching a new focus on direct public education: to bring clear, accessible information to help communities and decision-makers make informed choices about how AI is developed and used.

No technology is neutral or inevitable. We know that better digital futures are possible when people are at the center of decisions about how AI is developed and used. With your support, we’re creating workshops and events that equip communities to push for the kind of transparency and accountability that make this possible. 

Donate now to ensure this critical work can grow — because the future of AI should be shaped by the public, not just the powerful.
