Artificial Intelligence will define the next generation of work, wealth, and wellbeing. Without intentional inclusion, it could also deepen inequality, especially for Americans already left behind.
HOPE AI™ is Operation HOPE’s bold new initiative to democratize AI access and skills—building on its 30-year legacy of financial literacy and economic empowerment. Through a network of 1,500+ HOPE Inside locations (and a plan to scale to 15,000), HOPE AI is designed to ensure every American—urban or rural, left or right—can compete and thrive in the AI economy.
The AI Ethics Council (AIEC), co chaired by John Hope Bryant, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Operation HOPE and Sam Altman, CEO of Open AI, is a national council bringing together tech leaders, policymakers, ethicists, and economists to ensure artificial intelligence is developed and deployed responsibly, safely, and equitably.
Operation HOPE is a strategic implementation partner of AIEC—turning ideas into real-world delivery.
HOPE AI (Delivery & Empowerment Platform), co-chaired by John Hope Bryant, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Operation HOPE and Van Jones, Founder of Dream Machine Innovation Lab and CNN Contributor, is a national implementation engine housed within Operation HOPE—focused on grassroots activation, AI literacy, and community enablement in underserved areas.
Where the AIEC sets the compass, HOPE AI lays the foundation on the ground.
The AI Literacy Pipeline to Prosperity (AILP³) is Operation HOPE’s national initiative working to close the AI opportunity gap—empowering underserved youth and communities to become leaders in the digital economy.
AILP3 is a deliverable of the AI Ethics Council (AIEC) and a critical effort in preparing today’s youth for a future with artificial intelligence.
