Welcome to What If AI: Imagining the Future of Artificial Intelligence
AI is shaping our world faster than most of us realize. From the ways we interact online to how decisions are made across sectors. But as this technology evolves, it raises many important questions—questions that go beyond the technical and into the ethical, social, and personal realms.
This is where What If AI begins.
Why What If AI?
We created What If AI to explore the complex, messy, and fascinating future of artificial intelligence. The name itself is an invitation to think differently:
What if AI was a human right?
What if AI knows you better than you know yourself?
What if we demanded smarter policies, more inclusive innovation, and a future where AI works for everyone?
This isn’t just a space for tech insiders or academics—it’s for anyone curious about how AI is reshaping our societies. Whether you're a policymaker, educator, student, founder, or simply intrigued by what’s unfolding, we welcome you.
