About us

Leaders in responsible AI for the real world.

Responsible AI is what happens when people use AI the Right Way®. Why AI the Right Way® exists, what changes when we get responsible AI right, and the future we're building.

Why we do this

We facilitate the conversations that build confidence and capability, so people can meet in the middle.

Every week we work with people across New Zealand and see the same lightbulb moments, once someone finally sits with the questions they never got asked before.

1

A change in how people act

They pause before loading a document. They verify before they publish. They ask who owns the data. They think before they prompt.

2

Upskilling for everyone, no gatekeeping

Micro-skill certifications: workplace upskilling and professional development, issued by The AI Assembly. No prior qualifications required.

3

An equitable base layer, at scale

Across individuals, businesses, governments and communities: people who arrive informed, and organisations that lead with integrity.

Out in the real world

Where we've been.

From lecture theatres to boardrooms to community evenings, across Aotearoa.

What we do

Four groups, one base layer.

Everyone starts on the Responsible AI Citizen™, builds on it with Leader or Endorsements, and organisations certify on top.

Educating our future

Students and graduates start on the same base layer as the workforce, through their tertiary provider.

Future workforce

Educating our people

Anyone learning for work, whānau, community or everyday life, on the same base layer.

Responsible AI Citizen™

Upskilling our workforce

One equitable base layer across your people, then Leader for those who lead.

For business

Enabling & educating leaders

Lead people through AI change while you are still learning, and stay current as it changes.

For leaders

Our difference

Why AI the Right Way®.

We look at AI through 8 pillars

How it affects the way we live and work, and what we know to be right.

One equitable base for everyone

The same base layer whatever your role, seniority or starting point. You build your own industry, platform or leadership layer on top.

Values-based, future-fit micro-skills

A well-rounded view of AI as a technology and the opportunities in it, not just AI as a tool. Principles before tools.

Personalised to real life

The AI-powered portal builds scenarios around your work, study and daily life.

Always current

Endorsements are live sessions on updates and walk-throughs, so people stay up to date as AI tools break and change.

Born in Aotearoa, built for the world

Grounded in New Zealand, not an imported course.

A tiny but mighty nation showing the world how to do this right.

Workplace upskilling and an equitable pathway into formal AI education: learn, lead, use or build AI the Right Way®.
