We believe modern technology should be not only embraced but made simpler. De-mystified. There are too many gatekeepers who want to decide what is right for the individual and what is not based on interests that don’t relate to the recipient. In contrast, we believe in the power of the individual. We promote individual thought and responsibility especially as it relates to dealing with modern technology such as Artificial Intelligence.

Mission Statement

Be More Human is about making sure we, as humans, retain and strengthen our individual identity when dealing with the modern technology-driven world.

Activities

So, what is the Trust engaged in? What does Be More Human do?

• Promote a healthy relationship with AI to people of all ages - with particular emphasis on young people here in New Zealand

• Run open source software projects that have a focus on individual identity

• Advise business and other entities about how to put the human first in order to best take advantage of modern technology. We can offer support, training, and custom development relating to the bemorehuman open source and AI in general.

• Support the notion of responsible digital citizenship

Growing AI for New Zealand (GAINZ)

How can AI fit responsibly into our country? Can it really improve our lives and offer new opportunities? We think so.

We’ve created a white paper called Unleashing New Zealand’s Potential: GAINZ where we discuss these topics and more. We think it’s the right way forward for Aotearoa.
