We've partnered with our friends at CanTrust Hosting Co-op to collect feedback on AI use in cooperatives (and other social purpose orgs). The anonymized data will go into a report looking at AI energy use, and proposing options for more open source and value-aligned AI tools.

Hypha members will be there! Looking forward to the discussions - they're bound to be spicy 🌶️
