Who WeAre
Engage-AI is a nonprofit advocacy group dedicated to advancing responsible artificial intelligence for the common good. We believe that AI must be shaped by human values—dignity, justice, inclusion, and sustainability—not just technological ambition.
Our work brings civil society into the centre of AI conversations, ensuring that policies, tools, and innovations reflect the voices of those too often left out. By convening diverse stakeholders, supporting local leadership, and amplifying underrepresented perspectives, we help shape AI systems that serve people—not the other way around. Whether influencing global frameworks or building national foundations, Engage-AI exists to ensure that AI works for everyone, everywhere.
