As an Afro futurist organization, we center the unique needs of Black people as we think about building the tech sector we want.

Focusing on Impact

We don’t talk about it, we be about it. AI for the People engages in research backed interventions to change corporate practices and develop federal level policies that protect Black and other members of the protected classes from technical harm.

Collaborative

AI for the People values relationships with BIPOC leaders and allies across state, local and international communities, academia, government and advocacy to dismantle automated anti-Blackness in tech and break down institutional racism. It will take ALL of us to solve this problem not just the learned few.
