The big idea
Not a town run by AI.
A town empowered by it.
AI should feel useful, understandable and available—not distant or intimidating. The goal is to give everyone a fair chance to learn, experiment and benefit.
That means practical skills for daily life, stronger local organisations, and a shared commitment to use technology responsibly.
