Three objectives. One mission.

AI is being built into the country around you, often quietly. We put that power back in public hands: we surface what is happening, shape the rules, and help people use it well.

Shape the rules.

The rules written now will shape AI for decades. We brief Parliament and the regulators, so the public has a voice where the decisions are made.

Our projects

Every objective is delivered through projects, and every project has a lead. Our Project Managers plan the work, drive it forward, and build the partnerships, with individuals, organisations and government, that make each project possible.

Built to ensure fairness, transparency, and accountability.

The Foundation for Artificial Intelligence Rights (FAIR) exists to defend the British public in the age of AI. AI is already woven into daily life, sometimes openly, often without us realising. Deployed at this pace, without proper checks, it can entrench bias, erode rights and concentrate power in fewer and fewer hands. We are the central point that holds that line: surfacing where AI is being used, shaping the rules that govern it, and equipping people to navigate it on their own terms.
