Protecting the "Last Mile" Workforce
As AI transforms the economy, we care about the individuals and small businesses most affected by the transition. We hope the "Last Mile" of AI deployment can be equitable, safe, and empowering.
Data Dignity for SMBs
We believe small businesses should have a say in how their data is used to train larger models. Your business's expertise and localized knowledge shouldn't be extracted without your consent.
Labor Impact
We are interested in how AI affects local labor markets, and we hope the "last mile" workforce, such as delivery drivers, technicians, and front-office staff, is augmented by AI, not just replaced by it.
Open Standards for Access
We believe in open-source models and open data connectors as a way to avoid vendor lock-in. Small businesses should be able to move their data between AI providers without technical barriers.
Privacy
We believe in "Privacy by Default," including local-first AI and transparency about how public models handle sensitive user data. See our Trust & Security page.
"The 'Last Mile' is about more than just technology—it's about the people and businesses that form the backbone of our economy."
