About Bridge AIDE
Bridge AI Development and Ethics is a student-led AI organization fueled by the shared urgency that young people must have a seat at the table in designing and governing artificial intelligence. We are coders, policy nerds, question-askers, and future-builders tired of waiting for a more ethical tech future, so we’re building it ourselves.
We exist because too many AI conversations happen without students in the room. Bridge AIDE creates space for youth to engage critically, creatively, and collaboratively with AI technologies through education, policy, and peer-led exploration. This commitment to youth-driven AI ethics sets us apart in the field.
Why Ethics, Why Now?
As AI shapes everything from healthcare to hiring, bias and exclusion can no longer be dismissed as glitches. Ethics must be embedded from the ground up, starting with how we teach and learn about AI. At Bridge AIDE, we don’t separate code from conscience. Our workshops teach students how algorithms work and why they sometimes fail. Learning about AI includes examining who it serves, who it overlooks, and how it can be redesigned for equity, a core focus of our student advocacy in tech.
