Practical guidance for citizens to recognise, evaluate, and advocate for responsible AI systems.
AI affects your healthcare, employment, credit, education, and civil rights—but you don't need to be a data scientist to understand your rights or demand accountability. The Bridge Framework empowers individuals with knowledge and tools to navigate AI-driven decisions.
Free educational resources for everyone
AI systems are making decisions about your life. Understanding them is your right—and your power.
Laws like GDPR and EU AI Act give you rights regarding automated decisions affecting you. But you need to know these rights exist to exercise them.
Right to explanation, contest, human review
AI systems can perpetuate discrimination in hiring, lending, healthcare, and criminal justice. Recognizing bias is the first step to challenging it.
Awareness enables action
Public pressure drives corporate and government AI accountability. Informed citizens can demand transparency, fairness, and responsible practices.
Collective action creates change

The Bridge Framework provides individuals with practical knowledge to navigate AI-driven systems and advocate for accountability.
