Educate
Rigorous, accessible Spanish-language content on AI capabilities and risks, built on an audience that already exists: the largest Spanish-language AI safety media presence for general audiences.
Advanced AI will affect everyone. One of America's largest communities has been left out of the conversation.
La inteligencia artificial avanzada nos va a afectar a todos. Una de las comunidades más grandes de Estados Unidos quedó fuera de la conversación.
HASI is a fieldbuilding initiative working to inform, organize, and represent the U.S. Hispanic community in decisions about advanced artificial intelligence.
The numbers describe a gap that no organization currently fills.
- 0M+
- U.S. Hispanic and Latino residents, nearly one in five Americans[1]
- #1
- Spanish is the most spoken non-English language in the U.S. by a wide margin[2]
- 0M+
- Eligible Latino voters, decisive in key states shaping federal AI policy[3]
- 0
- U.S. organizations dedicated specifically to Spanish-language AI safety education and advocacy[4]
Frontier AI systems are advancing faster than public understanding of them, and the decisions that will shape how this technology is governed are being made now, in Washington. Yet almost all information about AI safety exists only in English, and AI models themselves are documented to behave less safely in Spanish and other non-English languages[5]. The result is a community of tens of millions with enormous civic weight and almost no seat at the table. HASI exists to change that.
Our goals
Organize
Fieldbuilding across U.S. Latino civic, faith, labor, and professional organizations, creating durable coalitions that understand what is at stake in AI policy.
Traction
An audience. @eltechbro is the leading Spanish-language AI safety account for general audiences, with an average of 800,000 monthly views.
Institutional grounding. Founded from within the AI safety field: the founder works in communications at MIRI, the Machine Intelligence Research Institute.
Funded content. A Future of Life Institute grant supports an ongoing Spanish-language AI safety video series.
Research. The founder is a fellow in the MARS research program at the Cambridge AI Safety Hub, working on AI governance and verification.
