About Us
We and AI is a nonprofit volunteer social justice organisation supporting greater public input into if and how AI is used.
Our mission is to enable the development of critical thinking skills about AI, particularly among those currently most underrepresented in AI decisions and data, and most vulnerable to the consequences of automation. Our focus is to develop accessible interventions to support people in navigating AI narratives and to make informed decisions which genuinely align with their values and interests.

Our Approach
Our main areas of work are advocacy for critical AI literacy, literacy content design, development and delivery and guidance on developing responsible and inclusive discourse about AI.
Our method is to develop accessible interventions to support people in navigating, decoding and shaping AI narratives. This means they can make informed opinions and decisions about technology which genuinely align with their values and interests, and those of their communities.
