Focus Areas
Where ASCI is especially interested in contributing
The categories below describe the kinds of challenges and collaborations that align especially well with ASCI’s mission and technical orientation.
Disaster Preparedness & Community Resilience
ASCI is interested in Disaster and Emergency Preparedness tools, frameworks, and collaborative efforts that help communities and organizations understand capability gaps, assess readiness, and strengthen resilience in the face of disruption.
Cybersecurity & Risk Awareness
We are interested in educational tools, simulations, and decision-support approaches that help improve awareness of cyber risk and strengthen the capacity of organizations and communities to respond effectively.
Applied AI for Public Benefit
Artificial intelligence can be useful in support of analysis, planning, learning, and mission-driven problem solving. ASCI is interested in responsible uses of AI that are practical, explainable, and aligned with human needs rather than novelty alone.
Collaborative Solution Design
Some of the most promising work happens when technical expertise is paired with deep domain understanding and lived experience. ASCI is interested in projects where meaningful collaboration can produce tools or approaches that are genuinely useful and sustainable.
Future Areas of Exploration
As ASCI grows, additional areas of mission-aligned exploration may emerge. The organization intends to remain open to new opportunities where advanced technology can be applied responsibly in support of humanitarian and public-interest needs.
Mission Fit Matters
Not every technical problem is an ASCI problem. We are especially interested in projects where mission alignment, practical value, and responsible use are all clearly present.
