About Humanity In AI

Humanity In AI is a global nonprofit working to make sure AI is designed and implemented ethically and responsibly, so it protects people and the environment instead of harming them.
‍
AI is already changing how we work, learn, get our news, receive public services, and use the planet's water and energy. Some of that change is good. Much of it is creating real problems that most people never hear about until it affects them directly. We exist so you hear about it first, and know what can be done.

‍

What We Do

  • We show where AI is going wrong. Across key Impact Areas, we explain the challenges, problems, and issues with how AI is being designed and used, in plain language. You should not need a technical background to understand the technology reshaping your life.
  • We show what is being done, and what you can do. For each issue, we show which organizations around the world are working to fix it, what laws, regulations, and legislation are changing, and what you can do personally to stay informed and take action.
  • We bring the world together on it. The harms of AI cross every border, so the solutions have to as well. We research and maintain a living map of AI Ecosystem Organizations in seven world regions, and check back with each as their work changes. Those relationships let us spot when two groups on different continents are solving the same problem, and introduce them.
  • We resource the work that crosses boundaries. Most organizations have budget for their own work. Very few have budget for work that spans five organizations on three continents. When the organizations decide a shared toolkit, framework, or publication needs to exist, we help fund and staff it, and the credit goes to them.

‍

What We Provide

We show you where AI is going wrong, who is working to fix it, what laws are changing, and what you can do, and we bring the organizations doing this work together.
‍
Our mission is to ensure artificial intelligence serves human potential, not replaces human dignity.

AI Ecosystem Organizations

We help your work land in the world.

  1. Shared map: A living directory that shows who is doing what across the AI Impact Areas, where there is overlap, and where there are gaps, so efforts line up instead of collide. Mapping which orgs cover which objectives; showing duplication, white space, and on-ramps at a glance
  2. Adoption kits (built from your work): Sector-specific Adoption Kits that package the best guidance into ready-to-use materials, policy text, step-by-step checklists, DPIAs, red-team scopes, contract clauses, training plans, and rollout checklists; crediting the originating     organizations.
  3. Evidence library: A shared evidence library that links controls to independent audit criteria, cutting audit cost/time for adopters and showcasing partners’ frameworks “in action.” Documents and logs that organizations can keep as they work, so an independent audit     (outside review) is faster and cheaper; and your guidance is what gets measured.
  4. Environmental footprint made simple: One-page scorecards (water/energy/materials/pollution) anyone can publish, with clear methods. Ecosystem Organizations supply methods; we provide alignment on how results are reported.
  5. From meetings to commitments: We turn roundtables into signed, public adoption targets (for example: “ten agencies run the policy intake process by June” or “fifty vendors publish environmental scorecards”), and we provide transparent progress dashboards.

Value to ecosystem orgs: less duplication, more adoption, shared attribution, reusable implementation assets, and clear impact metrics tied to their mission.

Organizations (the adopters and beneficiaries)

‍

We are your enablement guide.

  1. Adoption kits you can start with today: Sector-specific packets that include policy text, a Data Protection Impact Assessment template (DPIA), contract language for suppliers, safety test checklists, training plans, evaluation checklists, and a simple “week-by-week” rollout.
  2. Pre-Audit Readiness: A guided pathway to “audit-ready” with artifacts mapped to recognized criteria; faster compliance and vendor management. We help you keep the right records as you go, so an independent audit is straightforward. This reduces risk, speeds compliance, and builds trust with leaders and the public.
  3. Clear environmental reporting: Short, practical templates and scorecards to estimate and report water and energy use, and guidance on     better siting and cooling choices and on “circular” hardware (purchase, reuse, repair, recycle) to meet stakeholder and community expectations.
  4. Change support: Role-based training, communications packs for staff and communities, and implementation checklists that fit real organizational constraints and support while you implement.

Value to organizations: reduced risk and time-to-compliance, credible public signaling, and proof of responsible AI in production, not just on paper.

People (communities, workers, learners)

‍

We turn protections into lived benefits.

  1. Your rights, in plain language: What privacy, transparency, and accessibility mean for you; and how to use them if something goes wrong.
  2. Co-designed pilots that benefit communities: Schools, agencies, and local media try the kits with community input, and we publish results and measure against equity and accessibility KPIs.
  3. Pathways for good jobs: Training and portable credentials that lead to roles where human beings matter most, not just tasks that     machines can do.
  4. Local visibility: Simple dashboards that show the environmental footprint and community benefits where you live.

Why this helps people: understandable protections, visible accountability, and clearer paths to opportunity.
