In an era of information overload and declining trust in media of all kinds, civic engagement is waning. Citizens struggle to stay informed about local government proceedings and policy decisions, hindering their ability to participate effectively in shaping their communities.

Traditional journalism faces resource constraints and struggles to adapt to the changing media landscape, leading to a decline in local news coverage. The rise of AI presents both opportunities and challenges, and it is imperative to harness its power responsibly for civic good.

The alliance we’re envisioning will promote ethical AI through community engagement. In addition to the Civic Conversations we’ll host, the thought pieces we’ll publish on AI and the Human, and the news we’ll post on Smartacus Reports, we plan to offer AI content-development workshops and community forums.
