At FIRE, we’re unapologetic defenders of free speech. In the age of AI, our work is more important than ever.
Already, AI is shaping what we see, what we read, and what questions we even think to ask. Will AI narrow debate into sterile, one-dimensional answers that suffocate curiosity — or unlock new horizons of discovery?
We’re working to ensure it’s the latter. FIRE is committed to keeping curiosity at the center of our culture, so that technology strengthens free thought instead of stifling it. Left entirely to government regulators, AI could be forced to dish out government-approved answers while quietly filtering out ideas disfavored by those in power. That should worry even the most hardened AI skeptic.
Join FIRE to become a free speech insider. You’ll see how FIRE is defending open inquiry in the AI age — and learn how YOU can help protect our most fundamental freedoms.

FIRE gratefully accepts donations using major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo and PayPal.
FIRE members help us defend the rights of all Americans to free speech and expression. Far too many Americans don’t understand the value of free speech and the principles behind it. Our members do.
We accept no government funds — not one cent. Our ability to defend fundamental rights relies on individuals who believe in our cause and are willing to back it. By making a gift today, you will join over 10,000 Americans who fuel our work through their generous donations — ensuring we have the resources to take on cases regardless of politics or popularity.
We hope you'll join us.
