We're a collective of journalists, researchers and trainers working across the Majority World.
Between us, we've spent years reporting on how AI actually works — who builds it, who profits, and who pays the price.
We exist to make sure the people affected by AI aren't the last ones consulted about it.
We offer six core modules — from basic AI literacy to policy stress-testing — for organisations that need to make sense of these tools without adopting them blindly.
Our clients include newsrooms, universities, NGOs, research organisations and companies rolling out AI policies.
Tailored to your needs.
