Our Mission

Our mission is to lower the barrier for the underrepresented communities and promote an inclusive generation equipped to lead in addressing emerging AI risks.

2.

Acting as a catalyst, we support early and mid-career researchers by providing resources and mentorship to pursue impactful research in AI Safety, AI Governance, and AI Policy.

3.

Through mentorship and advocacy, we aim to enable meaningful participation from underrepresented populations to foster a diverse generation of leaders who will shape the future of AI responsibly and ethically.
