GBI Foundation / Responsible technology

Community technology and responsible use of AI

Software now sorts job applications, benefits, housing, and school placements. People living with those decisions rarely get a plain explanation or a way to question a result. This program teaches that literacy and argues for systems that can be explained.

The problem this program addresses

New tools are sold as neutral. In practice they learn from old hiring, lending, and policing patterns. Workers are also told to adopt the same tools to keep a job, often without training. Both problems are the foundation's concern: fairer systems, and skills that keep people employable.

Who it is for

Residents, nonprofit staff, students, and public audiences who want a practical briefing. The foundation does not sell software, run ads for vendors, or collect resumes for an employer on this page.

What the program includes

  • Workshops in ordinary language on how automated decisions show up in work and public services.
  • A standing set of questions: Can an affected person understand the result? Is there a way to appeal? Does the tool narrow or widen an existing gap?
  • Short lessons the workforce and digital-literacy programs can reuse.
  • Notes from a session only when participants agree those notes can be shared.

How GBI Foundation carries it out

We do not claim university contracts, a white-paper series, or seats at regulatory tables unless a document or event is linked from this site. Policy comment, when we make it, will be published in the foundation's name and dated.

Read the mission and the impact and accountability pages before you give. Both explain what the organization is, and what it will not claim.

What your support pays for

A designated gift pays for curriculum, community sessions, translation, and accessible meeting costs. It does not buy equity in a technology company.
