Why This Kit Exists
Artificial intelligence is no longer a technology story. It is a power story. Who builds it, who controls it, who profits from it, and who gets surveilled by it. These are the defining questions of our generation.
Every major AI company is a corporation with shareholders, investors, and incentives that may not align with yours. Green badges on a chart do not make a company your ally. Red badges do not make a company your enemy. Your job is to hold all of them accountable, including the ones you like.
The European Union has passed the EU Artificial Intelligence Act. Brazil, Canada, and India are advancing their own frameworks. The United States has no comprehensive federal AI law protecting consumers, and the current administration is actively challenging the state laws that do exist. Your awareness matters globally, not just locally.

The Bottom Line
How do we build a society where no single AI company can dictate our ethics? We get wise. We get informed. We stop waiting for permission and start holding power accountable. All of it. Corporate power. Government power. The power we hand over every time we click "I Agree" without reading.
Share this kit. Talk about these issues. The future is not something that happens to you. It is something you build.
