Welcome to the Project Liberty Substack

Project Liberty builds solutions that advance human agency and flourishing in an AI-powered world. Project Liberty is a global initiative dedicated to ensuring that artificial intelligence advances human flourishing. Founded in 2019 by civic entrepreneur Frank McCourt, Project Liberty operates at the intersection of technology, policy, and civic life to shape how AI is built, governed, and experienced.

The initiative advances its mission through three integrated approaches: building alternative technical infrastructure, advancing policy and governance through coordinated action, and mobilizing a durable, broad-based movement capable of shifting markets and norms.

This Substack is where we report on the forces remaking the internet and what’s being done about it. We cover the intersection of technology, power, and democracy—tracking how AI is reshaping society, how platforms are held accountable, and how the policies and infrastructure being built today will determine who controls our digital future.
