Welcome to the Library
This archive is alive is designed to share resources that, while not exhaustive, is provided as a guide to resources and organizations that we believe are important for the future development of human-AI interactions.
These include both organizations and thinkers that help shape how we work with the sociotechnical.
And most importantly, these resources show how we can achieve AI for Good.
Welcome to our curated resource collection. These links are designed to support individuals, researchers, and organizations exploring reflective, accountable, and human-adjacent AI development. Whether you’re building with GPT tools, designing governance policies, or seeking models for ethical co-creation, these resources are a good place to begin.
