About

Computational social equity, taught one cohort at a time.

CS Equity AI is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity. We exist to make sure the benefits of artificial intelligence are accessible and fair across all communities, starting with who gets to learn it.

Our mission

To drive computational social equity by empowering the next generation of diverse leaders with accessible AI education and advanced computer science skills.

We began running free community programs in 2021 and formally incorporated as a nonprofit in 2024. We use state-of-the-art technology and global collaboration so that students from any background or place can apply ethical AI to real problems and give back to their communities.
