    Our values

    1. Championing diversity and inclusion in Artificial Intelligence (AI)

    AI has suffered from a diversity crisis that has contributed to flawed systems that perpetuate gender and racial biases. MKAI acknowledges the gravity of the situation and is committed to including diverse contributors to everything we do.

    2. Supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals

    We believe that organisations globally must develop technologies that go further than just creating profit. MKAI wants to see all organisations and companies factoring the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals into their development and innovation.

    3. Operating with transparency and fairness

    MKAI is committed to being transparent about our aims, objectives and projects. Furthermore, we seek to recognise and treat each person or organisation that works for us or with us as fairly as possible.

    4. Demanding accountability in business

    We believe that organisations should aim to create explainable technologies and systems that are externally validated to be ethical, fair and understandable. Furthermore, leaders must be held fully accountable for the products their organisations produce, the way they are used and the harms caused, even if unintentional. 

    5. Advocating for safety and privacy

    We are constantly exposed to the societal challenges associated with data collection, digital invasions of privacy, and invisible black-box AI algorithms that make decisions about our lives. Through our work and our partners such as XRSI.org, MKAI works tirelessly to help protect citizens from the harmful actions of technology companies that put profit ahead of safety, privacy and respect for their users.
