About Aula

Our mission is to ensure that everyone can access the conversation on how AI is being implemented in society.

We are a think-tank and non-profit NGO, facilitating the global conversation on A.I. In ancient times, in Latin-speaking regions, an aula was the place where a community gathered to discuss matters of shared importance. The Aula Fellowship for AI Science, Technology, and Policy is a modern aula: a gathering of interdisciplinary Fellows from around the world, committed to advancing the responsible proliferation of AI.

Each Fellow brings their own expertise, from science, engineering, social justice, governance, law, education, philosophy, business, and more.

Fellows speak for themselves and have absolute independence over their work, and don’t speak on behalf of one another. What unites us is our shared mission.

There are several ways to engage with the Aula Fellowship. For more information for each of these options, see Get Involved or Support the Mission. Here is a quick-list of forms for different options:

Language Policy

Based in Québec and rooted in multilingualism, we invite all guests and Fellows to contribute in any language they speak. We actively support French, English, and other languages through subtitling and translation. We are researching and engaging in how AI tools are affecting languages and cultures.

We have several programs for potential supporters of our Mission to ensure that everyone has access to the conversation on AI.

Everyone deserves access to the conversation on AI. That’s why we’re here. The Aula Fellowship is a nonprofit that helps people work on the hard questions of AI together. We work with individuals, communities, and institutions who are trying to make sense of what AI means for their work, their people, their missions, and their futures. We’re not here to simplify AI or sell you a solution. We’re here to create space for real conversation.
