The AI Transparency Institute is powered entirely by passion and principle. Our team of dedicated volunteers—researchers, policy experts, educators, and advocates—donates their time and expertise because they believe in a future where AI serves humanity responsibly. We receive no corporate funding, no government grants, and no venture capital. This independence is our strength.
Every self-assessment tool we develop, every research paper we publish, and every educational resource we create is made possible by the generous support of patrons who share our vision. Your contribution doesn’t just fund our work—it protects our ability to remain truly independent, to ask difficult questions, and to advocate for AI governance that prioritizes human dignity over profit.
As a volunteer-run organization, we operate with minimal overhead. Nearly every Swiss Franc (CHF) you donate goes directly toward research, education, and advocacy that supports the missions of AI Transparency Institute. We’re building this future together, one contribution at a time.
All donations qualify as tax-deductible contributions for Swiss-based organizations and individuals with Swiss residency.

The AI Transparency Institute — Where Independence Meets Impact
Welcome! We’re building a future where AI works for everyone, and we’d love for you to be part of it.
When you support the AI Transparency Institute, you’re joining a community that values integrity. Here’s what makes us different:
Your values, our independence – Every contribution supports unbiased research and policy work that stays true to the evidence, always.
Everyone has equal voice – We don’t give special access or influence based on donation size. Your impact matters, not your wallet.
Straightforward partnership – We invest your gift directly into our mission: research, education, and advocacy for trustworthy AI. No side deals, just meaningful work.
Governance that stays independent – Contributions power our work without directing it. This keeps our findings honest and our advocacy genuine.
Support that fits you – Want recognition? Wonderful! Prefer to stay private? That works too. You decide what feels right.
Why This Matters?
Your generosity helps advancing the dialogue on International AI Governance, Energy and Water Consumption of AI Systems, and buidling international guardrails to ensure AI systems are safe and designed with the socio-technical dimension at heart.
