About Us
Our Mission
To build a thriving and sustainable responsible data science and AI ecosystem.
The Data Science Alliance (DSA) is dedicated to using data and AI as a force for good. This technology is advancing faster than ever before, and the need for ethics and safeguards has never been greater. Through our projects, internships, volunteer programs, and events, we’re building a future where these tools work for people, not against them. But we can’t do it alone.
We invite you to join us. With your support, we are fostering a community that inspires, uplifts, and leads ethical innovation.
