Born from the visionary 1955 Dartmouth Summer Research Project that first coined the term "Artificial Intelligence," the World AI Alliance was established precisely 70 years later. Our founding is a deliberate act to guide AI's monumental trajectory toward a future deeply rooted in ethics, equity, and empowerment for all humanity.
Our commitment translates into tangible actions across key areas to ensure AI serves humanity.
We partner with governments and developers to draft and implement ethical AI frameworks, audit algorithms for bias, and establish responsible development guidelines. We empower nations, especially in the Global South, to adopt comprehensive AI policies.
We believe future AI leaders can emerge from anywhere. We run international hackathons, bootcamps, fellowships, and scholarships for underrepresented youth, fostering innovation and recognizing AI for good.
Our commitment delivers actionable tools. We build and distribute open-access AI software for real-world problems in governance, healthcare, education, and climate resilience, ensuring local communities have access to the training and infrastructure needed to benefit from AI.
