Why We Exist
AI is reshaping our world at unprecedented speed, but its immense potential is held back by fragmented efforts and siloed development.
This AI Moment
When different sectors work in isolation, we miss opportunities to create solutions that work for everyone. We need new ways to bring together diverse perspectives and capabilities.
Our Vision
We envision a future where AI empowers everyone, not just a select few. This requires bringing together government's scale, industry's capabilities, civil society's understanding, and academia's insights.
Our Mission
We're creating new ways for different sectors to work together effectively through practical collaboration that builds trust, shares resources, and delivers real impact through continuous learning.
Our Answer: Collective Design
We've discovered a powerful new approach that combines the best of human-centered innovation with cross-sector collaboration.
Design Thinking
Human-centered innovation that keeps solutions grounded in real needs and enables rapid learning through practical experimentation.
Collective Impact
Structured collaboration that brings organizations together around a common agenda to solve complex problems at scale.
Together At Last!
Combined, these approaches solve each other's limitations, creating a powerful framework for ethical AI innovation that works.
Why This Matters
Helps us turn good ideas into real solutions that help everyone by combining human understanding with practical teamwork
Makes it simpler for everyone to pitch in their strengths, whether through big-picture planning or hands-on building
Keeps us flexible and innovative while building reliable foundations for long-term success
