We support British Columbia’s transition into ethical, inclusive AI - by helping public institutions, businesses, and community leaders build the knowledge, skills, and partnerships they need to navigate emerging technologies.


This is BC + AI: part solarpunk R&D lab, part community potluck, all heart, no gatekeepers. Plug into the mesh and let’s prototype ecosystems that learn, heal, and co-create right alongside us.

It captures the early formation of a decentralized, creative, human-first AI movement in British Columbia — built without corporate capture or gatekeepers.
