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.

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.

If you’re asking, “What does AI mean for us?”, then we’re at your service.

What we offer:

  • Applied Research & Publications
  • Custom Workshops & Training Programs
  • Strategic Advising & Consultations
  • Hackathons, Focus Groups & Retreat Sessions
  • Public Outreach, Panels, Op-Eds & AI Literacy
