Introducing DemAI: Harnessing Technology to Develop and Defend Democracy

We're thrilled to announce the launch of a new impact-driven venture we've been passionately building over the past few months: DemAI. We have embarked on this journey with a critical mission: to leverage advanced technology to actively develop and defend democracy.

Why DemAI? Why Now?

Democracy faces increasing pressure globally. Powerful tools like Artificial Intelligence are rapidly evolving, and while they sometimes contribute to the challenges, we firmly believe they shouldn't just be part of the problem – they must be integral to the solution.

DemAI represents our commitment to shifting this narrative. We are dedicated to harnessing the potential of AI and related technologies to:

  • Increase transparency in political processes.
  • Foster meaningful citizen engagement and deliberation.
  • Combat disinformation effectively.

Our ultimate aim is to empower both citizens and institutions, contributing to a stronger, more resilient, and competitive democracy fit for the future.

Early Steps & Building Momentum

The wheels are already in motion. We've begun conducting educational sessions exploring AI's potential for both businesses and democratic strengthening, and we are actively developing DemAI's initial solutions designed to put our mission into practice.

Join Us on This Critical Mission!

Strengthening democracy through technology is a challenge far too significant and important to tackle alone. We are actively building a community around DemAI and looking for passionate individuals and organizations to collaborate with us. Here’s how you can get involved:

  • Lend Your Expertise: We are expanding our network of talented volunteers and advisors. If you possess skills in AI, software development, political science, communications, democratic processes, or related fields and share our passion for this cause, we would be incredibly grateful to hear from you.
  • Explore Partnerships & Support: We are actively seeking strategic clients and partners who believe in the power of technology to strengthen democracy. Furthermore, we are exploring funding opportunities to accelerate our development cycle and scale our impact. If your organization is interested in collaborating or supporting this work, let's connect.

Our Commitment

We are driven by both a profound sense of urgency and unwavering optimism. Leveraging our combined experience in technology and business, along with nearly a decade spent working directly at the intersection between AI and democracy, we are committed to applying our skills to address this fundamental challenge for our society and for future generations.

We are incredibly excited about the journey ahead and look forward to sharing more updates on DemAI's progress soon!
