The Bridge Between Tech and the Public
Founded in 2019 by Susan Gonzales, AIandYou was created to bridge the gap between Big Tech and the public. As a former policy executive at Facebook, Susan recognized early on that without a foundational understanding of AI's benefits and risks, workers, educators, marginalized communities and small businesses would be left behind. Today, AIandYou specializes in providing the essential tools ordinary people need to survive and thrive in the new digital world.
