“Mandy…has founded [Real Good AI] to try to fight back at what is going wrong with AI. And no, this isn't something that I just joined. This is something that I believe in”
-Mark Fischbach [Influencer, Filmmaker, Real Good Board Vice President]

Current AI sucks

No one really understands AI. Really, no one.

Companies leading the AI field are purposefully obscuring the truth about AI and its limitations while acting irresponsibly to try to make money.

The math (Neural Network) models current AI uses are:

  • Unexplainable

  • Rely on too much (stolen) data

  • Destroy the environment through inefficiencies

  • Are just plain wrong too often

AI generated videos, voice, pictures, music, and art are dangerous to humanity through our livelihoods, our art, our psychology, and so much more. We deserve to know what is real and where things came from.

All of these issues have a common solution: if we could really understand AI, it could get better.

Let’s be that change.

  • Make a Difference NOW

    Instead of saying “yes” or “no” to AI by using the REAL rating, we all have the specific language to talk about the nuanced involvement of AI in everything.

    Learn About the REAL Rating

  • Fix AI FOREVER

    As a crowdfunded research organization, we pursue research that is important to all of us. We are not looking to make a profit so our information is completely free, open, and unbiased.

  • Make Sure EVERYONE Knows

    And that’s where YOU come in! Knowledge, science, or discoveries only mean something when they are shared with everyone so our outreach programs are designed to get everyone in!

    Join Us

We are NOT doing:

  • Building or using data centers

  • Stealing data to train on it

  • Making an AI product

  • Lying about what our results mean to sell you something

What We ARE doing:

  • Imparting statistical models in AI to improve transparency, uncertainty quantification, and computational efficiency

  • Developing proof of concept AI methodologies for data attribution, meaning we know want to know where something came from

  • Using our methodologies to solve unprofitable but vital problems to helping the world

Inspiration Station | 2026 Real Good Workshop
Dr Amanda Muyskens

Real Good AI just wrapped its second annual workshop — the first time our full team and board have ever been in the same room together. For two days, we celebrated a year of unprecedented growth, reviewed every program from research to livestreams to coloring pages, and set 47 ambitious milestones for 2026 (that’s nearly one every week!). We also mapped out thoughtful fundraising plans to protect our crowdfunded roots and help us grow sustainably. From SMART goals to dream stream guests to bold ideas about research transparency, the energy was contagious. It’s only possible because of you. Read more about the workshop in this thoughtful retrospective written by our very own Dr Mandy!
