Human Agency and Purpose In This Era of AI

Agents of Purpose builds our future at the crossroads of agency, purpose, and AI. It began with our founder asking one question in classrooms, boardrooms, and at dinner tables with friends: "Should AI read bedtime stories to our kids?" This grew into building a foundation for how we incorporate AI into our lives and deploy it in our organizations.

Kathy Pham

Founder


Kathy is the founder of Agents of Purpose and a pioneer at the intersection of technology and the public interest. She helped stand up the White House U.S. Digital Service (and subsequently co-founded the U.S. Digital Service Origins), helped built the FTC's first Technology Office, advised the White House as a member of the National AI Advisory Committee, led AI and open technology at Workday, and built technology at Google and IBM. She pioneered responsible computing at Mozilla and Harvard, some of the earliest institutional efforts to explore the human consequences of technology. She founded and teaches Product Management and Society at Harvard. Her work, spanning government, non-profits, industry, and academia, and care-taking, drove her to one core question to help us build the foundation of our use of technology: "Should AI read bedtime stories to our kids?"
