Founded in 2018 by the late Abhishek Gupta and Renjie Butalid, the Montreal AI Ethics Institute (MAIEI) is an international non-profit dedicated to democratizing AI ethics literacy. We believe that civic competence is the foundation of change—by equipping citizens, policymakers, and industry leaders with the knowledge to navigate AI’s societal impact, we empower them to shape a more responsible and ethical future.
