Inspiring the Next Disruption
Ineffective chatbots. Poorly-managed algorithms. Mishandled attempts at automation. Deepfakes. Job losses. We’re working to spark the next thinkers that will obliterate this antiquity.
Moving From Myth To Reality
If you look at the current headlines surrounding artificial intelligence, they paint an ugly picture —and an inaccurate one. We what artificial intelligence can achieve in the right hands. We see through the myths, failures, and fears.
We founded our non-profit ImpactfulAI because we want to help others pull back the veil. To promote deeper understanding and better conversations around artificial intelligence. We aren’t interested in profits, and we don’t care about pointless metrics.
We’re here to change the narrative around AI from failure and fearmongering to innovation and potential.
Meet the ImpactfulAI Team
We’re a group of people who think, breathe, and live for artificial intelligence. Between us, we have decades of AI experience in academics, law, and working with startups and tech companies.
