AI MINDSystems Foundation
AI MINDSystems Foundation has a timely vision for systemic interventions to advance humanity’s health, prosperity, and privacy. Our mission is to transform how exponential technologies are accessed and adopted by underserved communities, and how data from those communities is collected, stored, and used for the advancement of ethical AI, community health, and the pursuit and sustainment of health and digital equity. To achieve this mission, we are creating and will sustain a new, trusted data ecosystem, a just data economy inclusive of data subjects, and self-sovereignty of identity, data, AI, and personal digital twins. We are dedicated to the empowerment of the individual relative to corporations and governments in the accelerating age of converging exponential technologies such as AI, web3, blockchain, digital biology, digital twins, robotics, and advanced Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs). The person-centered heart of the Foundation's mission is each of our decentralized “MIND” -- an acronym for "My Individual Networked Data." Through self-sovereign AI, MINDSystems will underpin trustworthy social institutions that formally and equitably engage individuals, families, and communities in new kinds of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs). MINDSystems are integral to the Foundation's urgently needed approach to operationalize decentralized, ethical AI and data governance that includes people legally, financially, socially, clinically, scientifically, and technologically. AI MINDSystems Foundation is seeking highly-qualified volunteer leaders with shared values, specializations across a wide array of skills, and in geographies around the world. We are also now accepting tax-deductible donations and gifts to accelerate our mission, in alignment with a series of fast-moving, high-impact potential initiatives.
