We’re hoping that we can learn from each other's successes and failures, and eventually build tools that bring us closer together.

Whether you proudly use it, resist it, or are experimenting in secret, we know it’s hard not to get caught in the swirling miasma of shame and stigma around AI.

It’s never been more important to be transparent and open about how we’re using technology. We welcome your thoughts and feedback.
