We think that AI will only be a force for good if ordinary people make it that. We’re no tech experts, but you shouldn’t have to be an expert to get a say in a democracy. We’re bringing together a broad alliance of people and groups in the UK who will create a visible face to the AI movement.&quot;</p><p>.</p><p><a href="https://jpit.uk/ai-faith-and-justice-resources" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Explore the JPIT AI, Faith amd Justice resources</a>.</p>
