Participatory governance for the age of AI.
Where Singularity imagines AI making human contribution obsolete, we advance Plurality: keeping human agency and democracy at the wheel, and treating technology as a means of cooperating across difference. RadicalxChange Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2018 by economist Glen Weyl in the wake of Radical Markets, and now the home of the movement that Plurality extended.
From theory to practice
Research alone doesn't shift power. Four strands of work reinforce each other, and the connective tissue between them is the Foundation.
Research
Open papers, frameworks and proposals, from the founding academic work on plural voting and funding to the Plural Stack. The Library.
Civic-tech prototypes
Turning ideas into working mechanisms: an open-source plural voting tool, partial common ownership of art, community currencies. The tools.
Partnerships
Building "civic muscle" with governments, institutions and community organisations, from the Colorado legislature to Sydney's density debate to the UN Global Dialogue on AI to 500 Indonesian newsrooms bargaining collectively with AI companies. The projects.
Community
A global network of chapters, Salons and a monthly call that tests these ideas across very different contexts. The community.
Proof at national scale
Taiwan's embrace of these methods under Audrey Tang is well known. The next iteration is emerging in Japan, where the Plurality book inspired Team Mirai, an independent party using AI to help citizens understand and shape policy. In 2026 it won eleven parliamentary seats.
Our role
RadicalxChange is the connective tissue for this ecosystem: community work proves the methods on the ground, while ambitious, economy-scale proposals carry them to the grand challenges of our era. Both serve the same goal, helping humans steer the AI transition.
