Learn about our commitment to democracy, transparency, and human rights in the age of artificial intelligence
To use Artificial Intelligence and Data Analysis tools to fight authoritarianism in all of its forms everywhere. We ensure human rights defenders, journalists, and civil society have the appropriate AI and data tools at their disposal to fight authoritarian governance.
To ensure artificial general intelligence is aligned with the goals of humanity when it arises, provided those goals are democratic and anti-authoritarian in nature.
To remain agile and flexible in achieving these ends through a combination of free and open source software development, advocacy, strategic partnerships, and innovative approaches not yet envisioned.
We envision a world where, as Artificial Intelligence develops and becomes exponentially more powerful, all people have a meaningful voice in their own government at every level, individual rights and human rights are universally respected, democratic institutions continue to function and are expanded upon, free expression is not stifled, and governance is shared among many instead of consolidated into the hands of a powerful few.
We champion democratic systems where power is vested in the people, emphasizing individual freedoms, political participation, and equal voting rights. We support free and fair elections, rule of law, and independent institutions.
We oppose concentrated power, suppressed dissent, and restricted individual rights. We fight against fascism, oppressive regimes, and illiberal democracy that maintains democratic features while restricting freedoms.
We defend universal, inalienable entitlements inherent to all humans, including the right to life, liberty, security, freedom from torture, and access to basic needs like education and healthcare.
We seek the greatest approximation of objective reality using available information. We espouse truth based on empirical evidence, even when inconvenient, and develop AI tools that follow this principle.
All our products will be open source, ensuring transparency, community collaboration, and freedom from proprietary restrictions. We focus on impact toward our goals rather than competition.
We embrace technological advancement while preserving democratic values. We remain dynamic and open to the future, not mired in fighting to preserve things as they are.
AI tools are currently developed and leveraged by powerful private and corporate interests with priorities that often conflict with democratic principles. These tools can be exploited to concentrate wealth and power while eroding democratic norms, amplifying misinformation, and suppressing dissent.
We adapt AI tools to be easily utilized by pro-democratic activists and develop autonomous agents to help shift the balance of power back toward democratic governance and institutions. We work to ensure AI systems that advertise truth-seeking functionality actually deliver on that promise.
Together, we can ensure AI serves democracy and human rights. Help us build tools that empower civil society and counter authoritarianism.
