AI Opportunity - MacArthur Foundation Login into your grantee account, reset your password, or submit an idea to the MacArthur Foundation. Expanding who creates, uses, and benefits from artificial intelligence. The technologies collectively known as artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to transform many aspects of social, cultural, and economic life, from the classroom to the arts to the workplace.
AI tools are being integrated across society but often in ways that are not community-centered. Future generations must be able to see themselves in a world shaped by AI and have pathways to engage productively and equitably. AI Opportunity seeks to answer this call.
AI Opportunity will focus on the intersection of AI, the economy, and the workforce—with a focus on young people in Chicago; community-centered AI development and use; and nonprofit AI applications. It will also contribute to Humanity AI, a broad philanthropic coalition committed to shaping a more human(e) future with AI.
We are in the early stages of developing a grantmaking strategy and are not accepting unsolicited proposals at this time. However, we welcome the chance to learn about new ideas and perspectives related to this work. We will soon be searching for AI Opportunity Program Officer, Administrator, and Coordinator roles.
