Our Mission

increase public support for policies to reduce algorithmic bias

OUR THEORY OF CHANGE

The only way to ensure we have a racially just tech sector is by shaping policy norms. We do this by:

  • Using media and entertainment to educate Black communities about the impact advanced technologies on their lives and
  • Provide inputs to policy making bodies within the United States, the UN and other multinational agencies

We need to increase diversity within the field of ai ethics

AI for the People seeks to do this by partnering with universities to hire and train AI ethicists the reflect the diversity of the US population.

WE ATTRACT TOP TALENT BY CREATING HIGH PAYING JOBS

Our goal is to create a professional environment in which all AI ethicists that earn tech sector salaries.
