Our framework of mutual obligations and rights was not designed with AI in mind.

The renegotiation of the social contract has already begun.

The renegotiation will continue until communities can articulate their needs, and be heard.

Civil Society organizations (charities, nonprofits, unions, faith communities, and neighbourhood associations, and the like) exist to carry community voices into public discussions.

When Civil Society organizations can engage competently, confidently, and consistently everyone's work improves:

  • AI Labs & Developers can build confidently, knowing their work reflects diverse community values
  • Policymakers & Regulators gain access to grounded perspectives that give governance decisions legitimacy
  • Public Bodies & Government can implement AI systems with confidence that communities were genuinely heard.
  • The Governance Ecosystem becomes more robust and trustworthy
  • Communities can be confident that AI's benefits will be shared equitably, not concentrated among the privileged

The Promethean Collective builds that capacity - giving communities the voice this moment demands.

We’re building the infrastructure— knowledge, frameworks, context, and networks—that Civil Society organisations (from every country, every culture, and every part of the political spectrum) need in order to advocate for AI that supports the flourishing of all humanity.
