Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming how we work, think and connect — whether we’re ready for it or not. Across sectors, we can already see AI is being leveraged in ways that shape public opinion, automate decision-making and influence everything from policing to public benefits to what shows up in people’s social media feed. That’s why we created this resource for leaders navigating the noise around AI. This guide offers a framework for making informed choices about how your organization talks about AI, how you might use AI and where you should draw the line. It’s a resource you can return to as the technology evolves and one you can share with new staff and partners so they’re grounded in the same shared understanding.

If you’re a communicator working in service of justice, equity and collective power, you don’t need to become an AI expert overnight. But you do need a place to start. This is it.
