Catalyzing the global movement for public-interest AI.

Alongside a trailblazing partnership of governments, philanthropists, industry leaders, and grassroots builders, we’re reorienting AI in service of people over profit.

Mainstream narratives position AI as a profiteering and threatening force, but it doesn’t have to be this way.

We believe that when aligned builders join up, AI can do a world of good.

Countless initiatives are already harnessing AI’s potential to make a real impact, both globally and in local communities. But the organizations and governments behind these efforts largely operate in isolation, leaving momentum and impact on the table. Current AI is rewiring the public-interest AI space by funding and connecting aligned changemakers, and by investing in resilient, collaborative infrastructure to push all of our work forward. We’re also building a fully open, interoperable stack to leverage AI’s potential for good, without compromise.

Ready to get involved?

Our goal is to connect the public-interest work happening across the AI space into one coherent, effective movement that centers people’s real needs. We will build an alternative AI system in a global, collective, and collaborative way, so that it is not governed by any one company or country.

Who we are

Current AI is a first-of-its-kind global partnership founded to champion and build public-interest AI.

Designed as a hybrid organization working between the worlds of philanthropy, tech, and government, we have €370 million in funds already committed, and we’re mobilizing €2.2 billion over five years.

How We Work

We're building a public-interest AI movement across three symbiotic pillars

We fund to level up the entire ecosystem.

Designed as a hybrid organization working between the worlds of philanthropy, tech, and government, we have €370 million in funds already committed, and we’re mobilizing €2.2 billion over five years.

We build what the market won’t.

Working collaboratively, we build to fill in gaps in the public-interest AI ecosystem, with everything designed to be open, accessible, and auditable.

We unite the global movement.

Current AI exists to nurture and coordinate the public-interest AI community. Collectively, we’re connecting communities, investing in shared resources, and bringing aligned parties to the table so we can all take action together.

The AI we shape today will shape us tomorrow.
