Help Build a Safer, Smarter, More AI-Ready Future for Every Community.

1/6

We Need Your Help

 Artificial intelligence is reshaping our world faster than schools, families, seniors, and institutions can keep up. Every day, communities face new risks—deepfakes, voice-cloning scams, AI-enabled fraud, misinformation, and digital confusion that overwhelms families and leaves vulnerable populations exposed.

The AI Readiness Institute (ARI) exists to change that.
Our programs—CAST, AI Navigator Certification, Innovation Labs, AIRAIP, and ASAC—prepare youth, seniors, families, schools, nonprofits, and businesses for the AI era.

But here’s the truth:
We cannot do this without you.

Your support fuels youth leadership, builds community safety, expands our training tools, and ensures that all youth can participate for free.

This page shows you exactly why your support matters, what your gift makes possible, and how you can help build a future where every community is AI-ready.

Artificial intelligence is no longer optional knowledge

 Seniors are falling victim to voice-cloning scams that mimic loved ones 

 Students are targeted by AI-driven misinformation & bullying deepfakes 

 Families face confusion and fear around AI tools 

 Schools & libraries are overwhelmed and underprepared 

 Businesses face synthetic media attacks and brand reputation risks 

 Communities are witnessing AI fraud and identity theft at unprecedented rates 

Yet almost no national organization exists to help everyday people understand and safely navigate AI

 Until now.

The AI Readiness Institute is building the first youth-powered, community-centered AI safety movement in North America.

We offer:

  • Free programs for youth ages 12–25
  • Free digital safety workshops for communities
  • Tools for seniors and families
  • Readiness assessments for institutions
  • Real-time safety intelligence
  • Eight Innovation Labs creating national resources
  • A youth-led CAST movement
  • A nationally recognized AI Navigator Certification
     

Your support ensures these programs remain accessible to everyone—especially those who need it most.
