What we do
Research
We identify mainstream narratives of AI, challenge those that don’t serve us, and imagine alternatives. Our research is guided by decolonial, intersectional, feminist, and participatory approaches. These methods help us surface perspectives often overlooked, question who gets to shape AI, and collectively build knowledge with the people most affected by it.

What we do
Make
We believe theory is only as good as its application in practice. So, following what Ruha Benjamin once said,
“Remember to imagine and craft the world you cannot live without, just as you dismantle the ones you cannot live within” - Ruha Benjamin
We make alternative narratives of AI. Always in the open, together with others, we test our ideas to generate applied knowledge – because it takes many hands to build new worlds.

What we do
Educate
We believe that AI isn't as complicated as it’s made out to be. Much of the language around AI deliberately obscures how it works, making it difficult (or even impossible) for most of us to understand, question, or scrutinize its mechanisms.
That’s why we focus on critical AI literacy. The more people understand how AI works and how it’s made, the better we can shape it to serve all of us. We share what we learn and make this knowledge accessible to everyone because we learn together, or not at all – it’s the only way we can build the worlds we deserve.
WeTransfer to educate their ___k workforce on the fundamentals of critical AI.
Impact Hub to help them spot AI bias and data discrimination in their products and services.
