Advisory Board and Operating Advisors

Our Advisory Board provides strategic guidance on evaluating economic models and approaches that ethically support economic growth through AI. They also foster connections and augment our voices. Composed of world-recognized respected leaders and experts in technology and social impact, the council ensures that we remain at the forefront of responsible and ethical AI practices and work collaboratively to maximize reach and impact.

Our Operating Advisors are also advisory board members and might act as interim CXOs and Executive Advisors to AI organizations we support. They deploy proven operational frameworks, offer executive coaching, and leverage industry connections to accelerate growth, creating meaningful value.

Their work helps organizations improve core indicators such as Social Impact, Customer Satisfaction, Employee Morale and Development, Diversity and Inclusion, Annual Recurring revenue, Net Revenue Retention, Customer Acquisition Cost, Average Contract Value, Rule of 40, and Gross Margin.

The Eightfold Path

At AI4SP.org, we chose the Eightfold Path as our avatar and logo to symbolize our commitment to ethical and compassionate AI.

The Eightfold Path represents a set of principles that guide individuals towards a more compassionate and ethical way of living, aligning with our mission to create AI solutions that benefit marginalized communities and promote social justice.

We strive to integrate these principles into all aspects of our platform, inspiring others to do the same.
