Our Mission
Butterfly Labs is a nonprofit dedicated to helping society navigate the age of artificial intelligence. Our mission is to raise awareness through digital storytelling, build inclusive communities prepared for an AI-driven future, and advance AI research that benefits everyone.
Artificial intelligence is transforming how we learn, work, and live — yet many feel left out of the conversation. We believe everyone — from kids and students to workers and seniors — deserves to understand AI’s impact and have a voice in shaping its direction.
Butterfly Labs was founded to bridge this gap: to make AI understandable, connect people through shared learning, and drive AI innovation that is ethical, responsible, and human-centered.
Our Approach
We focus on three interconnected pillars:
Media – Digital Storytelling for AI Awareness
We raise awareness through stories that bring AI’s impact to life. Videos, podcasts, and articles capture human experiences in the AI age.Community – Building Communities
We create spaces where kids, students, workers, and seniors can learn, connect, and support one another through workshops, events, and partnerships.Research – Advancing the State of the Art
We conduct independent research, develop new frameworks for safe AI, and share open reports to ensure technological advances serve society.
Together, these pillars create a cycle: stories spark awareness, communities drive action, and research delivers solutions.
