SeedAI is a Washington, D.C. nonprofit at the intersection of AI policy and practical application – grounded in strategy, animated by innovation, and designed for opportunity. We are scaffold builders, working with cross-disciplinary leaders to frame the ideas, pilots, and ecosystems that make national progress possible. 

Our work includes hands-on literacy and adoption across America, educational programs for government staff and officials, strategic agenda-setting for policy initiatives, and coalitions like Accelerate Science Now. 

Our role is to make AI legible and approachable as a grand opportunity for the country by supporting national AI resources for collaboration, creating high-trust spaces for policymakers, and amplifying what works until it can spread.

Our view is that this moment should echo the space age: researchers unearthing knowledge, builders creating tools, technicians testing systems – a nation looking to the future with confidence. Like then, America’s approach must be fast enough to lead, diligent enough to measure, and bold enough to capture the full brilliance of the country.

We’re pro-experiment and pro-diffusion. Regulation, we believe, should grow from practice, not precede it. That means starting with private or public-private pilots, co-developing evaluation with NIST and agency partners, and letting what works mature into standards and eventually statute. It’s the American way: try it, prove it, and scale it.
