Our Mission
Our mission is to harness the power of compassionate computational technology to amplify the voices of diverse communities. We strive to address the disparities in access to cutting-edge computational solutions caused by technology priorities, market forces, or capacity limitations. By understanding technology through a community lens, we aim to bridge the gap and ensure equitable access for all.
We are committed to integrating community knowledge into technology decisions, recognizing the unique perspectives and experiences of diverse communities. Through collaboration and partnership, we seek to overcome common algorithmic biases in artificial intelligence (AI). By identifying and addressing these biases, we aim to create inclusive and equitable computational solutions that benefit everyone.
