AI Now Institute

Founded in 2017, The AI Now Institute produces diagnosis and policy research on artificial intelligence.

AI Now develops policy strategies to redirect away from the current trajectory: unbridled commercial surveillance, consolidation of power in very few companies, and a lack of public accountability. In the years since its founding, AI Now has set the bar for discourse-shaping work that focuses on the social consequences of AI and the industry behind it.

AI Now’s leadership were invited to advise the US Federal Trade Commission on artificial intelligence in 2021, an honor that recognized the significance of the organization’s work and provided a significant opportunity for impact.

As of mid-2022, AI Now is operating as an independent organization and does not accept funding from corporate donors, including the tech industry we aim to hold accountable. As a policy research institute, AI Now’s current approach is to identify and capitalize on actionable policy windows, advance narratives that chart a long term strategy for the field, and catalyze energy towards action in close partnership with a broad coalition of allies.
