Putting Civil Society in the Driver's Seat.

At Collective Intelligence for Good, we empower civil society to drive the development of AI tools while protecting data sovereignty and ensuring ethical use and governance.

Collective Intelligence for Good is a women-led Swiss association in Geneva working in partnership with multiple actors in the AI field.

We build the shared infrastructure and governance so civil society can collaborate safely, scale faster, and preserve digital sovereignty.

Civil Society's "Commons Tragedy"

The $2 trillion civil society sector is being left behind. While AI transforms global industries, NGOs and donors remain trapped in a 'Commons Tragedy': an inability to effectively mutualize efforts, resulting in fragmented data, diminishing resources, critical gaps, and duplicative work. Without a shared foundation, individual organizations lack the resources and positioning to harness AI effectively.

The Methodology: CI4G Co-Design Lab

Innovation isn't just a product—it's a process. Our Co-Design Lab convenes civil society and donors to build shared solutions together.

Consult Surface and prioritize shared pain points across the sector.

Design Create governance, privacy, and safety rules for compliant data sharing.

Iterate Test, learn, and scale what works, faster.

The Solution: Public Data Commons

We are building a member-owned Public Data Commons: a shared data and governance layer that enables collaboration without organizations giving up control.

Governance A neutral framework for shared decision-making and accountability.

Security Institutionally acceptable rules for engagement and data safety.

Sovereignty Civil society shapes tools that reflect its values and priorities.
