Technology in the Public Interest - MacArthur Foundation Login into your grantee account, reset your password, or submit an idea to the MacArthur Foundation. Technology in the Public Interest Strengthening oversight and innovation in the governance of artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping our world, impacting everything from the decisions we make about our lives and our social interactions, to critical sectors like education, finance, and healthcare. However, AI is not neutral. Without robust oversight, AI's advantages will be unevenly distributed, and its harms will be felt disproportionately.
It is therefore important to support organizations and networks centering public interest considerations in the governance of AI to ensure AI’s benefits are widely shared and risks are prevented and mitigated. At its core, our work supports research, policy development, and practice focused on AI evaluation, auditing, and accountability mechanisms.
These practices are essential to strong AI governance because they build trust, ensure safety and security, and protect human rights. In addition, we make investments exploring emerging areas at the intersection of technology and society.
