About / 004

We are a student-led AI ethics organization and publication. We report on how these systems land on real people — in classrooms, clinics, courts, and code review.

No sponsors, no product to sell. Just reading the documentation, filing the records requests, and asking the people affected what they were told. Anyone at the school can pitch.
