For a fair, inclusive and sustainable future, we must ensure that Artificial Intelligence is developed and deployed to best serve the needs of people and society.
Too often AI is shaped by the interests of governments and the tech industry without adequate concern for the individuals and communities it affects. This can lead to technologies that entrench inequality, exacerbate social injustice and undermine people’s rights.
That’s why the European AI & Society Fund empowers a diverse ecosystem of civil society organisations to shape policies around AI in the public interest and galvanises the philanthropic sector to sustain this vital work.
We support organisations from across Europe that want to shape Artificial Intelligence to better serve people and society. Some of our grantees have previous expertise working on AI, digital rights and technology. Others represent particular communities or fight different kinds of social injustice and want to address how AI is affecting their work.
The European AI & Society Fund is supported by a group of philanthropic foundations that share our mission to shape AI in the public interest.
This list of civil society experts on AI contains profiles and contact information of policy experts, researchers and lawyers who can speak to the media and other stakeholders on issues such as AI regulation, facial recognition, racial justice, AI in health, border surveillance, algorithmic welfare distribution, conditions for workers training Chat-GPT and other key issues of our time.
We explain why we think making regulation work is so important and how our new programme plans to use it to challenge AI harms felt on the ground and set precedents for responsible innovation that benefits people and society.
In a conversation with our grantee Global Health Advocates (GHA) we explore public interest work on AI and health equity and how to build capacity for organisations in this space.
