The Cooperative AI Blueprint
The Cooperative
AI Blueprint
AI use in cooperatives and other social purpose orgs
This project aims to explore the development and deployment of ethical, cooperative AI with a focus on energy consumption and data use. Through the research phase of the work, we will take other components into consideration, including the competitiveness of Open Source models.
AI Use in Cooperatives and Social Purpose Organizations – Survey
We’ve put together a short survey to gather feedback on AI use in cooperatives (and other social purpose/nonprofit/sp organizations). The anonymized data will be used to inform a report that examines AI energy use, and considers options for creating more open source and value-aligned AI tools.
We’re aiming to release our findings in Spring 2026.
