The future of AI is human-centred. We advocate for building human input directly into AI systems.
Work Streams
Democratic
Input to AI
We work with civic groups, technology partners, academia, and the open-source AI community to support and advance the use of AI in the public interest.
Data
Trust
We work with our partners to create an authoritative and democratic global database of human feedback, by generating and curating relevant datasets, and providing front-end tools to AI companies to gather users’ feedback about LLM output.
AI Education
x Community
We actively educate newcomers to the ML field, making AI more accessible to all. We have built an engaged community through our LLM Reading Group and AI Tinkerers meetups, and work closely with the nonprofit sector to bring more nonprofits into the age of AI.
Ways We Work
Advance
the integration of public input into AI through working with the nonprofit sector, technology partners, and human-centric open-source AI projects.
Mentor
the next generation of open source AI contributors, focusing on working with human feedback datasets and inputs across the model training and development stack to accelerate the development of resilient and better aligned open-source AI systems.
Educate
newcomers to the ML field, and larger business, policy, and public institutions on the advancements in cutting-edge AI safety research and open science, making AI more accessible to all.
White Paper: Democratic Input to AI
Democracy as an Intelligent Service is Human Feedback Foundation’s submission to OpenAI’s Democratic Input to AI challenge.
It’s a prototype system for consensus-building that integrates weighted reputational voting, non-Western ethical frameworks, and a global law dataset to support more inclusive, actionable democratic processes.
Projects
AI in Production Mentorship Program
Our mentorship program pilot with University of Toronto and Northeastern University partners connects students with experienced AI practitioners to build live, open-source AI projects grounded in human-centered approach and values.
