The Build Initiative

Backing organisations in the long-term as AI challenges change

Our Build Initiative sustains a diverse and resilient civil society ecosystem across Europe to shape the direction of AI in the public interest.

Since 2020,  we’ve nurtured a strong community of organisations with a range of expertise on technology and social justice that can shape the agenda on AI. 

They’ve significantly strengthened accountability and people’s rights in the recently adopted European AI regulation, advocated for improved conditions for gig workers and AI accessibility for people with disabilities. 

We currently support 18 organisations with flexible funding to make sure there is sustained capacity within civil society to be a strong voice for the public in AI policy.
