How We Work

North Star / Goal

Durable peace and prosperity for all

Impact

People experience greater wellbeing, safety, and equity as the technologies shaping society are built with and accountable to the communities most affected by them.

Organizational Goal

AI technologies that shape society reflect women's wisdom and leadership in their design, use, governance, and evaluation.

The underlying concept, maternal instinct: the drive to protect, nurture, and build toward flourishing, is among the most powerful and underused forces in the world. It should be built into our systems, not added as an afterthought.

Women leaders are architects in the design, evaluation, and governance of AI

How

By placing women in governance roles, connecting them to the institutions designing AI policy, supporting them as co-developers of tools and products, and equipping them to lead AI evaluation and auditing, we ensure women's expertise is built into AI from the inside.

2Apply
