About Behind the AI
Independent research on who funds, controls, and profits from the AI tools millions of people use every day.
Independence
Behind the AI has no advertising, no sponsorships, and no affiliate relationships with any company we assess. We are not funded by any AI company, venture capital firm, or government agency. Our assessments are based entirely on published, verifiable sources.
Team
AI for Canadians. Building tools to help people understand the AI systems they interact with every day.
Tool Disclosure
This site was built with the assistance of AI tools, specifically Anthropic's Claude. All factual claims, source verification, and editorial judgments are made by humans. AI was used for code generation, drafting, and formatting — not for research conclusions or grades.
Advisory Board
We are assembling an advisory board of AI policy researchers, journalists, and civil society advocates. If you're interested in joining, contact advisors@behindtheai.org.
Design
Behind the AI uses a dark theme. A light theme option is planned for a future update.
Disclaimer
Assessments reflect publicly available information and the published methodology of the Behind the AI Research Team. Grades represent analytical assessments derived from the published scoring framework, not statements of fact about internal company operations. If you believe any claim is inaccurate, contact corrections@behindtheai.org with the specific claim and your evidence.
