So excited to be part of the innovative DeliberationAtScale consortium – winner of one of ten global openAI Democratic inputs to AI awards – that is going to help explore ways to make the incredible power of generative AI that has so suddenly been unleashed upon society into a force for the common good!
We’re thrilled to share that our team, DeliberationAtScale, consisting of NGOs, businesses, and local leaders in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, won #openai‘s grant – Democratic inputs to AI. We’re one of ten global teams to secure this grant. Our goal? Develop AI systems that work for everyone.

Shaping AI’s future is not easy but, we’re up to the task. We’re ready to take on the long haul and engage in fruitful talks about how this change affects ordinary people.
One of 10 out of 800 global contestants, we’re humbled and inspired. We’re geared up for the hard task of building tech systems that can turn thousands of conversations into tools for AI alignment. The task ahead goes beyond this grant. It’s embedded in the deep social and political issues tied to democratic alignment.
That’s why we’re inviting folks of all backgrounds and views, especially from the Eindhoven region, to join us. The unaware, the uninterested, those left out by tech progress – your voices are key. Our aim is not just to work for you, but with you. We think that by working together we can do justice to the scale of the challenge!
Thanks to all of the team for making this a reality!
