What is *Responsible AI?

AI technology is moving fast, and it would be easy to overlook responsibility in the rush to innovate. But at SeeMe Index, we refuse to take the easy route.

Our commitment remains steadfast: to develop and refine AI technologies with purpose—ensuring that we responsibly measure and amplify the identities that deserve to be seen. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just impact. Period.

The SeeMe Index works very closely with all of our partners to ensure that what and how we measure identity is inclusive and representative.  One of our core principles is continuous learning to ensure we evolve with those that need to be seen.

Why We Created

The SeeMe Index

Launched in 2023 by ex-Google Executives Asha Shivaji and Jason R. Klein, the SeeMe Index brings objective measurement to brand inclusivity efforts by leveraging responsible AI. This addresses a crucial brand need to authentically reach and engage diverse groups. As a woman of color and a gay man, the two have drawn from their experiences at Google to provide a data-driven source of truth that empowers both brands and consumers to live inclusively.
