About Us
SUSTAIN is a non profit organization that was founded by students for students to ensure that youth voices are incorporated into the conversation about AI ethics. Our journey began with shared concerns about advancing AI in education such as the academically dishonest use of tools like ChatGPT, the rise of deepfakes and misinformation, and the potential for over-reliance on AI to inhibit critical thinking skills. But we realized that there were deeper issues beyond student abuse including curricular development and student evaluation using AI tools.
Today, we recognize how pervasive AI is across various industries, from banking and coding to music and digital art. Though concerns loom over job opportunities narrowing particularly, we believe that new and exciting avenues will emerge. At SUSTAIN, we aim to empower students with the necessary knowledge and experience to navigate an evolving landscape being shaped by AI.
