Shaping the AI Age Together
Butterfly Labs is a nonprofit shaping a future where artificial intelligence serves humanity. We believe everyone should have a voice in the AI age. Through digital storytelling, inclusive communities, and forward-looking research, we connect people and ideas to guide technology toward a more just and human-centered future.
Digital Storytelling for AI Awareness
At Butterfly Labs, we use digital storytelling to make artificial intelligence real, relatable, and accessible. Numbers and reports matter, but stories bring impact to life.
Through videos, podcasts, blogs, and visual narratives, we capture the voices of students, workers, and communities navigating the age of AI. These stories highlight both opportunities and challenges, showing how technology is reshaping education, work, and daily life.
By sharing these perspectives, we aim to raise awareness, spark dialogue, and ensure that the human experience remains at the center of the AI conversation.
Building Communities for the AI Age
Butterfly Labs is more than a platform—it’s a community. We believe that the challenges and opportunities of artificial intelligence are best faced together.
Our community initiatives bring people into conversation and collaboration. From workshops and meet-ups to online forums and volunteer projects, we create spaces where students, workers, and professionals can share experiences, build skills, and support one another.
By fostering these connections, we are building communities that are informed, resilient, and ready to shape the role of AI in society.
Advancing the State of the Art AI Research
We advance the state of the art by developing new methods, tools, and insights that make artificial intelligence more understandable, controllable, and beneficial for society. Our projects include building open indices that track AI’s impact on jobs, creating frameworks for safe and transparent AI use, and collaborating with global researchers to explore solutions to emerging risks.
Through open publications, data sharing, and innovation, we aim to ensure that advances in AI serve everyone — not just a few.
