Who we are
We bring people together – like designers, artists, technologists, and researchers – to challenge dominant AI narratives, research alternatives, and make them real. We publish everything openly and educate others to build critical AI literacy, because it takes many hands to make new worlds.
The Team
These are the cuties making it all happen onna daily.
About the community
We are more than 8,000 practical radicals across 🌍 63 countries, bringing a diverse range of lived experiences, expertise, and curiosities.
No one knows where AI is going but none us are willing to leave it up to Zuckermusk - are you?
Friends of AIxD
Many members from the community 🫶🏼 help make this work possible - by contributing their time or donations.
We couldn’t do this without you. Thought contributor + financial contributors invited.
The story so far
We came together through our shared disillusionment with:
stories told and retold by big tech companies like OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Meta, which promise that AI will deliver ‘human salvation’, and
fear-mongering headlines sounding alarms about AI replacing us or going rogue.
AI is already here. It influences how we live, work, and connect with others every day. What matters most is who builds these systems, how they’re deployed, and how people use them.
Not resonating with either extreme, we practice a third position. One that exists in the fuzzy in-between, acknowledges a plurality of (sometimes conflicting) truths, and centers our agency within them.
So we bring people together to figure out how we can make AI work for the rest of us – because while we might not know where AI is going, we aren't willing to leave it up to Zuckermusk and the rest of the tech bros.
