## AI will be what we collectively make it
**People** build it. **People** use it. And **people** will benefit from its potential or suffer the harms it can cause.
The choice in front of all of us is clear: will we allow AI to be designed only for profit, or will we invest in a future where people get to decide how, whether, and to what ends AI is used?
**We know that AI is neither a poison nor a panacea.**
Digital technologies have already changed how we work, connect, and even find love. Now, we are told AI is on a similar but much faster, more pervasive, and inescapable trajectory in terms of the impact it will have on our lives.
But its potential to have deep cultural, social, and economic impact means that **people** and **communities** must shape our future with AI.
## **People are demanding a stake in how AI shows up in our future.** Humanity AI is answering that call.
By bringing the broadest coalition of philanthropic supporters together, Humanity AI aims to drive three levers to influence the present and future of this technology by:
Expanding the group of people who make key decisions about AI design, development, deployment, and governance.
Strengthening organizations that are bringing people together to shape AI’s future and ensure their voices are heard.
Supporting the creation of public goods that put AI access and control in the hands of people.
