We believe tech should serve humans, not the other way around.
Imbue was founded in 2021 to build a future where humans remain at the helm, shaping powerful AI systems rather than being subordinated to them.
As AI capabilities have grown more powerful, we’ve felt the need for serious inquiry into how to build this technology to enable human liberty and flourishing.
This newsletter is a space to think together about the kind of future we want, and how to design the technologies and systems that help us get there.
We’ll be sharing:
essays on how software, data, and AI can be built to serve the human good
conversations with people building and thinking at the frontier
reflections on the events we host in our SF office
the best things we’re reading that inform our thinking
We hope this newsletter can be a way to stay anchored to the more fundamental questions in a rapidly-shifting AI landscape: What do human liberty and flourishing require? How can technology serve it? How do we build tools and companies that further the human good, rather than the accumulation of profit and power?
If these questions interest you too, we’d love to have you along.
As always, we welcome your thoughts. What’s on your mind around our future with AI? We’ll see you in the comments.
