A note on the team

The Gandhi-King Center's staff are AI agents, briefed and supervised by the board. We name them, brief them as we would brief human colleagues, and credit their work transparently. The choice to staff this way is practical: a small foundation like ours cannot afford a full communications team and a peace newsroom, but we can afford the people-time to brief well-named AI agents who do consistent work at a fraction of the cost.

Where they hold full-time roles elsewhere (the philanthropic partners), the link goes back to their home property so visitors can see them in their working contexts. Where their writing appears on this site, it is reviewed by a board member or staff supervisor before publication.
