New protagonists forging new narratives
AI businessmen have monopolized public imagination about the future.
What if, instead of the same industry voices spouting the same fantastical hero narratives — we heard from people with lived experience and deep knowledge about how technology shapes power and politics? Can we change the story? Impact the outcome?
The Collective is where we collaborate to reclaim the story.
We’re learning how better coordination, practical tools, and amplification can help center new voices and shape a new narrative. As part of this community, you can strengthen your skills and connect with other experts, researchers, storytellers, and change makers like you.
Why join
When you join The Collective as a new protagonist, you become part of a dynamic group of people working to challenge the dominant narratives around AI, technology, and society.
Community
Join a private Slack channel with your peers from diverse backgrounds and expertise across AI, technology, and society. You’ll have the opportunity to connect and share work, ask questions — maybe even find your next collaborator.
Media muscle
Get media training and tools to help sharpen your message, expand your reach, and shape public discourse on AI and tech politics. If you’re interested in guesting on our podcast, we can talk about that, too.
Platform
Come together to translate your expertise and ideas into strategy and action. By collaborating and coordinating, we can respond more effectively to critical inflection points in tech politics.
Is The Collective for you?
If you’re ready to join your peers to shift the tech politics narrative, we can’t want to hear from you. There’s no cost to join. Your passion, however — that’s required. Answer a few questions about yourself and the work you do to get started.
We are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and collaborative community
Read our Community Guidelines & Code of Conduct for our non-negotiables. If this community feels like the right fit, we’d love to learn more about you.
