Technology that works for you
Progress has always unsettled power – it challenges the status quo and forces change. Extraordinary advances in AI have brought a high degree of uncertainty to the future, as those who lack integrity seek to control it for their own interests instead of improving society at large.
We share the positive humanitarian impacts and responsible use of disruptive technologies like AI, green energy, and digital privacy to bring a better future to everyone and the environment.
AI FOR GOOD
Our Technical Director leading these initiatives is Dusty Franklin.
Having built the foundations of Edge AI over generations of machine learning architectures, for the past decade Dusty was Principal Engineer of embedded systems at NVIDIA.
Growing a worldwide ecosystem of useful robots and low-power assistive devices, many have followed his strategic vision for efficiently distributing the benefits of accelerated computing to independent users and trusted his watchful expertise in AI Safety.
As an outspoken advocate for accessible open-source AI and environmental conservation, Dusty has advanced local edge computing paradigms and privacy-centric decentralized systems since 2010 alongside inclusive grass-roots developer communities.
He was among the first to deploy on-device LLMs and multimodal Vision Language Models (VLMs) with mobile availability at the edge without using the cloud – enabling remote users with secure, energy-efficient onboard compute that is not reliant on datacenters or internet connectivity.
With a focus on democratizing AI and its positive impacts, Dusty brings us the highest level of industry expertise with a concerned and well-informed perspective for the people, helping us make sure technology advancements are produced for genuine progress of the public good.
He joins our growing network of independent thought leaders aligned around the principles of equality, safety, and justice – individuals who believe innovation should serve humanity, not just the bottom line. This is a community that values creation over extraction, contribution over control, and progress rooted in responsibility.
Education & Public Awareness
We equip everyday Americans to understand the systems shaping their lives – from data tracking to algorithms to AI – so they are not passive users, but informed participants. Education and accessibility are crucial components to empowering individuals with accelerated computing in the modern era.
Advocacy & Policy Leadership
We work alongside legal experts, technologists, policymakers, and independent thought leaders to help shape laws and standards that protect citizens – not just corporations.
Privacy. Transparency. Accountability.
Ethical Technology Development
In addition to education and advocacy, we are developing the tools that put power back where it belongs – in the hands of the people. From home privacy protections to secure communication channels and tools that safeguard civic transparency, our technology is designed to keep you safe, informed, and free.
No surveillance. No gatekeepers.
Just people – building a better future, together.
We believe Americans deserve technology that defends liberty instead of threatening it – tools that protect your voice and privacy, and shines light where power would rather keep darkness.
Democracy depends on the ability to speak freely, organize safely, and hold institutions accountable. So we are building with people who still believe innovation can be ethical and to serve the common good for the betterment of everyone and the planet we share.
