Founded in 2024, The Just AI Alliance works to make the conversation on AI ethics accessible, better informed, and, importantly, actionable. It aims to translate complex ideas, from data privacy to algorithmic fairness, into tangible educational tools that empower young people to think critically about the technologies shaping their world.
It aims to focus on helping students navigate concerns such as bias, transparency, and data protection through case studies and interactive frameworks.
Building on these foundations, the Alliance aims to organize awareness sessions on questions of how algorithmic systems make decisions and to consider the social and moral implications of those decisions, by bringing together students, data scientists, and ethicists in dialogue about accountability and fairness. Further, it also aims to create original knowledge resources in the form of an AI Safety Toolkit, meant to foreground ethical concerns (algorithmic bias, transparency, misinformation, data scraping, and privacy) through real-world examples in the case of justice and AI via clear, instructional frameworks. Moreover, the project also seeks to draft a Compliance Report evaluating major AI companies on their adherence to ethical guidelines established by the UK and EU, with the aim of examining core areas of AI ethics (fairness, transparency, accountability, and privacy), verifying positive claims and identifying gaps that require reform.
The Alliance’s continuing efforts seek to include collaborative research, outreach initiatives, and public engagement with youth councils and education partners, all aimed at creating a more transparent and equitable digital future. The guiding principle across all these efforts remains constant: that technology must first observe the principles of justice, before efficacy and all else.
