Our Mission

To educate, connect, and advocate for the United Kingdom’s creative and media sectors as they navigate the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence.

We exist to ensure that AI enhances human imagination, strengthens media integrity, and supports a thriving cultural economy.

Our Values

Human Creativity First

AI should amplify, not replace, human expression and originality.

Integrity & Transparency

We champion ethical data practices, clear attribution, and accountability across the media and creative industries.

Equity & Inclusion

Innovation must reflect diverse perspectives, communities, and lived experiences.

Collaboration & Openness

Progress comes from active collaboration between creators, journalists, technologists, educators, and policymakers.

Adaptability & Foresight

We prepare the sector for ongoing technological change with long-term thinking and responsive action.

Impact & Sustainability

Cultural, social, and economic value must evolve together and responsibly.

Public Value & Trust

AI should strengthen access to quality information, creativity, and cultural participation.

Our Vision for the Future

A world where AI supports imagination, journalism remains trusted, innovation is guided by ethics, and the UK continues to lead globally in media and creative excellence.
