Neutrality Policy

Last updated November 1, 2026

LAIC is a connector. People should be able to trust that what they find here is listed because it's useful, not because someone paid for it or because it serves LAIC's interests. Most of what you hear about AI is hype or fear. We talk about both sides, honestly and in public.

Politics

• As a nonprofit operating as a 501(c)(3) organization, LAIC does not support or oppose any candidate for public office, and does not contribute to political campaigns.
• We may host nonpartisan forums, share nonpartisan voter information and invite candidates to speak, as long as every qualified candidate gets an equal opportunity.
• We may share research and community input with policymakers. Any lobbying stays within the limits federal law sets for charities, and the board approves positions on specific legislation.
• Board members and staff speak for themselves in their personal political activity, and don't use LAIC's name or resources for it.

Technology and vendors

• LAIC does not endorse AI products, companies or vendors. Listing a resource, event or organization means we think it may be useful, not that we vouch for it.
• We don't accept payment to list resources, events or opportunities, or to place them higher.
• When an organization connected to a board member, funder or partner is listed, it meets the same standard as anyone else.

Funders and partners

Funders and Partner Alliance members don't get to approve or change our research, survey results, listings or public statements. Membership does not confer governance authority or guarantee specific outcomes. See our Funding Transparency Policy.

Both sides of AI

When we present AI's effects on jobs, energy and water, privacy, health, education and fairness, we include benefits and harms, and we credit the people and data behind each view. We correct errors promptly and publicly.
