There is widespread concern about AI’s impact on people’s lives, jobs, and communities. This public anxiety is rooted in the question of who gets a say in how AI is built, governed, and used to ensure that it works for the common good.
We are looking for efforts where communities — from workers to artists to students and educators — are setting the agenda, not just informing it. Through this call, we are open to, and actively seeking, applicants who have not typically seen themselves as playing a role in shaping the impact of AI, whether for themselves or others.
