Boilerplate (150 words)

The Foundation for Artificial Intelligence Rights (FAIR) is a charity in the United Kingdom advancing enforceable rights, transparency, and accountability in the development, deployment, and governance of artificial intelligence. FAIR was founded on the conviction that AI - like every other technology with material consequences for individuals and the public - must operate within a framework of meaningful regulation, independent oversight, and binding obligations of disclosure. Through evidence-based research, parliamentary engagement, public education, and constructive partnership with the academy, the regulators, and the wider professional community, FAIR informs the public conversation on AI rights and supports better-informed decisions on AI policy. Priority areas include copyright and intellectual-property reform, AI and child safety, public AI literacy, transparency and accountability standards, and parliamentary advocacy. FAIR is registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (registration pending) and is independent of Government, industry, and any single political viewpoint.

Frequently asked questions

Is FAIR a registered charity?

FAIR is in the process of formal registration as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. This page will be updated when the Charity Commission registration is complete. We are not yet able to receive donations.

Is FAIR funded by industry?

No. FAIR is independent and not funded by any AI developer, deployer, or regulated counterparty. Material funding sources will be published in our annual report.

How is FAIR different from other AI policy organisations in the UK?

FAIR’s focus is the legal and regulatory architecture in which AI operates - the rights of individuals, the obligations of developers and deployers, and the institutional means by which those are upheld - rather than voluntary principles, codes of conduct, or technical standards alone. We work alongside, rather than in competition with, peer organisations including the Ada Lovelace Institute, the Open Data Institute, and academic centres researching AI governance.

Where is FAIR based?

International House, 50 Essex Street, London WC2R 3JF.
