FOR AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR EVERYONE
AND FOR THE COMMON GOOD

An association that works to ensure that people have free access to AI and that its development and socialization are ethical and for the collective good

The reason for CIVICAi’s existence is to raise public awareness and advocate for citizen participation in the safe and ethical deployment of AI. The continuous emergence of AI applications, primarily generative AI (GenAI), which are rapidly reaching millions of people worldwide, has placed the social, economic, and environmental impact of this technology, as well as its ethical implications and significance for the future of humanity and the planet, at the forefront of public debate.


CIVICAi works to turn this public concern into action through collaboration and alliances with civil society entities via its Social Council, and by adopting the following principles:


1. DEMOCRATIC REGULATION AND ONGOING SUPERVISION OF AI

2. CIVIL SOCIETY PARTICIPATION IN AI GOVERNANCE


In order to develop these principles harmoniously and address the challenges and opportunities of the 4.0 Revolution, with a focus on participatory AI governance for the common good, CIVICAi has approved the Civic Artificial Intelligence Protocol as a conceptual and operational framework to face the era of GenAI and the future of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

The protocol offers a balanced view of the impact of AI in general, and GenAI in particular, in areas such as ethics, work, sustainability, and culture, while proposing mechanisms to ensure responsible and inclusive AI. More than just a technical manual, the protocol includes frequently asked questions and a glossary of key terms to facilitate understanding of AI and its impact. It is an essential tool for citizens, professionals, and policymakers who want to understand and actively participate in shaping a future where AI and human intelligence coexist in a transformative and balanced manner.

The areas of action and the activities planned in our 2024 action plan, accessible via the objectives button below, are outlined in the attached diagram.
