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.
