Seeding and growing #Commons is a collective effort 🤝
Do you represent a funder or organization who could benefit from sovereign data & AI infrastructure? Perhaps you're ready to become the first seeders for a thriving epistemic Commons. If so, we want to hear from you!

What if the most sophisticated AI could serve the most marginalized communities WITHOUT extracting their knowledge or compromising their autonomy? 🤔 #DataCommons #AICommons
