AI & Democracy Foundation
AI is reshaping our world. Without rapid action, the result will be immense power concentration and chaotic destabilization. However, AI can also be harnessed to support and reimagine democracy. We believe that high-quality deliberative democratic processes for decision-making on AI (and with AI) can provide a path forward, mitigating both kinds of risk—and enable us to maintain democracy in a world increasingly dominated by AI. To learn more, see this essay from our founder, and our democracy levels paper. We work with democratic practitioners, facilitators, process convenors, researchers, tool builders, funders, and governments to work towards an ecosystem that can support high-quality democratic systems + decision processes. Decisions about how AI transforms society should not be made unilaterally. We work with frontier AI companies, governments, researchers, and civil society to drive the design and adoption of meaningfully democratic systems for AI alignment + governance. AIDF is
