AI LAW and POLICY / DISINFORMATION/ FREE SPEECH / PRIVACY
Imagine a world where tech isn't tearing the world apart
And left, right, Christian, Muslim, and Jewish orgs/citizens work together
to fix it for everyone.
Lucky for you, we already did.
(Then Minneapolis blew up twice.)
Now we're back. Buckle up.
Wouldn't it be hilarious if a 20 year team of experts + misfit Hobbits
had what Silicon, the Pope, and politicians need? And the 80s movie ending you've been praying for?
THANK YOU TO OUR PARTNERS FROM BOTH SIDES OF REALITY
WE TELL THIS STORY FUNNY B/C PPL KEPT CRYING
law & policy / education: k-CEO / bipartisan coalitions / college reform / stopping civil war
PRESS: NBC / CBS / FORBES / HUMAN LAWYER / NEXT GEN POLITICS
IDH started when Dr. McKain "crossed the filter bubble" and became a "disinfo diversity hire" at a Bible college in Minneapolis (2018-23). Spoiler alert: It worked.
THE IDH IS PHASE 3 OF A 20 YEAR "MANHATTAN PROJECT" (NO OTHER WORD)
To correctly, neutrally, and simultaneously "align" (nerd word for "fix") AI, disinfo, free speech, and privacy in time to not lose the 21st century and our Constitutional rights.
1ST BUILD WAS 2005: DISINFO PLATFORM W/ a BIG TEN COLLEGE AND FORTUNE 500
20 YEARS + TOP EXPERTS & 1000S OF STUDENTS (& LAWYERS, POLICYMAKERS, ARTISTS, TEACHERS, and CITIZENS)
