About

GAIA Guardians is the initiative of GAIA Foundation. The Global Artificial Intelligence Alliance (GAIA) is a multidisciplinary impact start-up which uses collective creativity to develop decentralized artificial intelligence with compassion.

Our goal is to identify and analyze the ethical challenges and opportunities of AI, including the development of empathetic AI algorithms. We investigate a range of ethical issues related to AI, such as privacy concerns and bias in decision-making. Lack of accountability for actions taken by artificial intelligence and the long-term impact on society are also studied. What’s more, in GAIA we look into the potential for AI to be used in ways that violate ethical principles.
