Agency
Who needs greater power and capacity to shape the AI future — and what should they be able to do?
Hope Atlas is a living field of ideas showing how human agency and intentional design can transform AI challenges into pathways towards human flourishing.
Who needs greater power and capacity to shape the AI future — and what should they be able to do?
What must we redesign in technology, governance, institutions or social systems to make that agency meaningful?
If we succeed, what becomes possible for people, communities and society?
Hope is not a prediction of what AI will become. It is our capacity to shape what becomes possible.
Every pathway is a point of hope. Follow the connections to see where different people, sectors and themes begin to converge.
Move from a challenge facing AI and society towards a future worth hoping for.
Think about voice, choice, participation, capability, access and the power to influence outcomes.
The Hope Atlas captures where diverse stakeholders believe greater human agency and better design can create the conditions for human flourishing.
It is not a forecast and not a conventional list of recommendations. It is a living collection of pathways: what concerns people now, who needs greater agency, what needs to change, and what kind of future those changes could make possible.
Governments can use it to identify public priorities; industry can identify human-centred design expectations; researchers can surface questions and gaps; civil society can identify shared demands; and communities can see how their aspirations connect with those of others.
