Advancing AI
That Helps People
Live More Independently
AIFI advocates for advancing artificial intelligence, robotics, and assistive technology across the United States — so the next generation of AI expands freedom, opportunity, and independence for everyone.
Our Mission
American AI leadership, measured in independence.
AI For Independence (AIFI) is focused on advancing a positive, forward-looking agenda for artificial intelligence in the United States — championing the development and adoption of AI, robotics, and assistive technologies that help people live more independently.
We believe AI can dramatically improve quality of life, accessibility, opportunity, and independence for the more than 70 million Americans living with disabilities — and for everyone who will rely on these technologies as they age.
Our goal is not just short-term wins, but enduring momentum: keeping AI innovation, accessibility, and independence at the center of America's technology future.
Our Focus
Technology should expand independence.
Three areas where AI is already changing what's possible — and where smart advocacy can accelerate progress.
Accessibility
AI vision tools, smart glasses, real-time captioning, and communication technologies that make the world more accessible to everyone.
AI Assistance
Personal AI assistants that help people accomplish daily tasks, access information, communicate, work, and live on their own terms.
Featured Technologies
What we're advocating for.
Five categories of AI and assistive technology with the power to transform daily life.
