The Human Trust

Research that helps every person flourish.

The Human Trust is a nonprofit for human development. We study Hybrid Intelligence, how people and AI can make each other better, and build Fiduciary AI: tools with a duty to act in your interest. Members own the data that makes this possible, and our trustees have a legal duty to act in theirs.

What we do

Three ways to work with us, all held to the same promise: your data, used only with your permission.

Take part

Join our experiments

Help answer questions that matter for human development, from how people learn to how they think with AI. You choose every study, and you get your own results.

Now: Hybrid Intelligence in Singapore. About 500 people forecast real-world events in teams, some with an AI teammate and some without.

Tools

Use Fiduciary AI

Fiduciary AI has a duty to act in your interest, not an advertiser's or a platform's. Every tool we build works that way, for members.

Socrates v2. An AI that never gives you the answer, only better questions, so you think further for yourself. In development.
Your Hybrid Intelligence report. A private metacognition report on how you work with AI: when you challenge it, when you hand work over, and how to get more from it. Only you see it. In development.

Partner

Research partnerships

Universities and nonprofits run studies with willing members, in a secure environment our trustees oversee and approve.

INSEAD. Hybrid Intelligence at scale: when do people and AI together beat either alone?
Multiple Sclerosis Association of America. Mapping treatment pathways in MS, to help patients and doctors weigh their options.
ORA. Pluralism in Europe: AI that helps people see the humanity in those they disagree with.

Talk to us

How it works

A data trust works like a family trust: trustees look after something on behalf of the people it belongs to.

A duty, not a business model

Like a doctor or a lawyer, our trustees must act in your interest. We never sell or rent member data.

Your data stays in the trust

Every study sees only a pseudonym, never your name or email, and each study's consent tells you where its data is kept.

You decide

Each use needs your permission. You can see, download or withdraw your data at any time.
