The HumAIne Foundation A.C.

The HumAIne Foundation emerges as a transformative institution born from and led by the Global South, dedicated to reshaping the landscape of technological innovation and social transformation. In an era where artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are fundamentally altering global dynamics, the Foundation stands as a testament to the Global South's capacity for autonomous development and leadership in responsible technological advancement.

Our mission transcends conventional approaches to development and innovation, establishing a comprehensive framework that authentically represents Global South perspectives and priorities. While welcoming international collaboration, the Foundation maintains an unwavering commitment to Global South leadership and decision-making autonomy, ensuring that technological development serves the genuine needs of communities while preserving cultural heritage and indigenous knowledge systems.
The HumAIne Foundation is an international non-profit organization dedicated to harnessing the power of emerging technologies for social good, we see them as a common public good and seek their recognition and availability as such.

We are active participants in bridging the digital divide by sharing knowledge and expertise amongst and throughout the Global South on how to collectively develop and deploy responsible technological solutions that empower marginalized communities, promote sustainable development, protect our environment, uphold human rights of present and future generations, to overcome the systemic and structural inequealities and obstacles that stand between us and an inclusively just, safe and peaceful world for everyone.

We work collaboratively, both remotely and on-site, with local partners across the Global South, and leverage cutting-edge technology to address our most pressing challenges.
We are a leading platform for thought and action, facilitating a digital transformation that bridges the digital divide and fosters a more just and sustainable world. This includes the Creation of the Global South Synergies & Resilience Platform, a digital hub for empowerment, collaboration and resource mobilization all across the Global South, built to shape our future amongst ourselves.

Communities all across the Global South deserve to live in peace, having the certainty that their physical integrity, livelihood, natural resources, land and possessions, are duly safeguarded under a rule of law abiding system, in which accountability is an effective recourse available to everyone everywhere.

What we do: The HumAIne Foundation is unique in our approach to working at the intersection of two crucial areas, humanitarian action and emerging technologies. We understand the transformative power of technology, but also its inherent risks, to which the Global South is disproportionately vulnerable to, as the world order currently stands.
We bring a grassroots level approach to building global governance which is inclusively, responsibly and ethically led by community-centric and multistakeholder participatory designs, from start to finish, and even lend support thereafter.

We distinguish ourselves by our pioneering community-led approaches which are context-specific and value-driven:

• Global South-Leadership: We are fundamentally driven by Global South leadership and priorities. We prioritize collaborating directly and on-site with communities in the Global South, ensuring projects are locally relevant and solution-oriented, that we engage community proactivity so the sustainable and scalable.
• Emphasis on Responsible and Ethical Technological Governance: We are not simply developing and deploying technology; we're establishing guidelines and promoting responsible innovation to mitigate risks and harms, and advocating for accountability mechanisms.
• Holistic Approach: Our initiatives leverage the interconnectedness of existing initiatives and promote preparedness for current and emerging social, environmental, and technological challenges, avoiding siloed approaches.
• Capacity Building and Empowerment: We empower communities by fostering local yet interconnected innovation ecosystems across the Global South availing full transparency of our aims amongst communities.
• Strategic Partnerships: We build strong collaborative networks to enhance and scale our positive societal impact throughout the Global South.
