Why Persicaria

AI usage has now fundamentally impacted every aspect of society. The technology is developing faster than the expertise, yet few understand the ethical implications of the outputs, consequences and aftermaths of such tools affecting major decisions. Persicaria exists to close that gap.

Our Focus

Our educators aim to ensure the general public and students are up to date and informed about the current ethical considerations and ways to use AI, and any risks arising from irresponsible decision making.

We do this through conducting on the ground research that gauges public sentiment and understanding of AI, such as concerns about AI crime, opinions upon opportunity and impact upon personal day to day life. Our team reviews trends of perceived popularity, willingness to adopt new tools and any commonly raised risks to give an up to date snapshot of what needs to be ethically considered at the highest levels of decision making.

We thus try to bridge the concern gap from potentially societal impacting, high stake decision makers in institutions to individuals utilising such tools everyday.

Through these findings, we develop and update educational material targeting the three most significant stakeholders wielding AI in their decision making, Individuals, Schools and Businesses, and hope to complement existing hardware safeguards against AI catastrophe with a prevailing societal consensus for ethical responsibility in AI usage.
