What we do
AI for People develops and supports human-centered approaches to artificial intelligence through research, education, and applied projects. Our work focuses on transforming AI into a practical and ethical tool that serves communities, territories, and the public interest.
We conduct interdisciplinary research on the societal, environmental, and urban impacts of AI, with a particular focus on cities and communities undergoing digital transition. This research informs the design of real-world applications that address inclusion, sustainability, and resilience.
Alongside research, we design and deliver accessible training programs that equip individuals with essential digital, data, and AI skills. These programs are intended for a diverse audience, including people in career transition, job seekers, students, and local actors, enabling them to actively engage with emerging technologies.
Finally, we collaborate with public institutions, universities, and private organizations to co-create AI-driven projects rooted in local needs.
By bridging academic research and practical implementation, AI for People aims to ensure that artificial intelligence contributes meaningfully to social progress rather than remaining a purely technological exercise.
Cities and communities evolve through the people who live in them. By taking part in local initiatives and digital projects, individuals can help shape more inclusive, sustainable, and livable environments.
Technology as a Collective Tool
At AI for People, technology is not an end in itself. It is a collective tool that supports learning, dialogue, and cooperation between citizens, researchers, and decision-makers ensuring that innovation remains grounded in human values and shared responsibility.
