Mission
Here Be Dragons is a nonprofit association advancing clear, responsible thinking at the frontier of artificial intelligence.
Research and education on AI
We promote science and research on artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and human–machine interaction — and we bring that work to the public through open education.
Data sovereignty and digital self-determination
We treat data sovereignty and digital self-determination as foundational: people should understand and control the systems that act on their behalf.
Responsible technological futures
We work toward responsible technological futures — where curiosity about powerful tools is matched by humility about their risks.
Interdisciplinary exchange
We foster interdisciplinary exchange between people and machine systems, and among the humans who think clearly about them.
