Transparency
We write about how people get deceived online, which makes it fair to ask who we are. Everything on this page is independently verifiable — by you, right now, without asking our permission.
A scam can claim anything. What it cannot do is appear in a government registry, file a public tax return, or hold a legal identity you can look up. Here’s how to check ours:
AI Literacy Foundation is dedicated to advancing education and improving social welfare in the community, by helping people who are at risk of being left behind by artificial intelligence and digital technology gain the skills, confidence, and understanding to use it safely and effectively.
Our program activity is authoring and publishing educational resources on the public web, open to anyone at no charge.
We are an educational charity, not an educational institution.
AI Literacy Foundation is not a school, college, university, formal educational institution, nonprofit school, academic museum, or certification provider. We do not enroll students, offer courses or curricula, grant academic credit or degrees, issue certificates, or charge tuition or fees of any kind.
We also sell no products or services, run no advertising, accept no affiliate commissions, and take no payment for mentioning any tool, product, or company.
The Foundation is governed by an unpaid volunteer board of directors. No director or officer receives compensation of any kind, and the organization has no paid staff. The board has adopted bylaws and a conflict-of-interest policy, and each director completes an annual conflict-of-interest disclosure.
The Foundation has no contracts with, and pays no funds to, any entity owned or controlled by a director or officer.
Our reference guides are published under the Foundation’s name rather than individual bylines; accountability rests with the organization, which is the entity you can look up and contact. Original reporting is different and is credited to the journalist by name — reporting should be accountable to a person, and the person who does the work deserves the credit.
We are volunteer-run and donation-supported. As a new organization we operate on a minimal budget, and all work to date has been contributed without compensation. We accept no advertising and sell nothing.
Where we receive donated or discounted software and services from technology-donation programs, that support goes toward producing and publishing our educational resources.
Our guides are drafted with AI assistance and reviewed, edited, and fact-checked by a person before publication — the same practice we recommend to readers: draft with AI, keep the judgment human, verify what matters. We say so plainly because an organization that teaches people to ask where information came from should answer that question about itself. Each guide shows when it was last reviewed. Where a guide points to authoritative help — a government reporting line, a consumer-protection agency — we link to the original source so you can confirm it yourself.
If we get something wrong, tell us. Email info@theailiteracyfoundation.org and we will correct the guide and note that we corrected it. An organization that teaches people to verify claims has no business being defensive about its own.
Our materials are general public educational information. They are not legal, financial, medical, or cybersecurity advice.
You do not need an account, and you do not need to give us your email, to read anything we publish. We do not sell or share information about our readers. If you subscribe to our email updates, we use your address to send those updates and nothing else, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
Everything we publish may be printed, copied, forwarded, and distributed at no cost. Libraries, senior centers, workforce and literacy programs, faith communities, and other organizations are welcome to hand out our guides without asking permission. If a different format would help you reach people, tell us and we’ll try to make it.
