Driving Responsible Technology Adoption in Government

Hyperalliant is a Maryland Public Benefit Corporation whose mission is to enable and persuade government agencies, contractors and others to rapidly adopt, adapt and use new information technologies in ways that benefit the majority of people living in the United States and other democracies. We measure and report our success by our impact using the  IEEE 7000 Series Standards and Ethically Aligned Design (EAD) Framework as our benchmark.

In support of our public benefit mission, HyperAlliant Public Benefit Corporation provides three types of services: HyperAlliant Software, HyperAlliant Media and HyperAlliant Workforce.

Our Mission: Accelerating Responsible Innovation

HyperAlliant exists to **enable and persuade** government agencies, contractors, and key influencers to rapidly adopt, adapt, and responsibly use new information technologies. We ensure that these powerful tools are deployed in ways that maximize positive outcomes for citizens across the United States and other democracies. We achieve this through our three core, all-volunteer projects: **Media, Software, and Workforce.**

HyperAlliant Media: Informed Decisions, Not Vendor Bias

We publish academic and educational media—including podcasts, articles, courses, and seminars—to better inform government decision-makers and those who influence them.

  • **Objective Assessments:** We provide unbiased, objective assessments of new technologies, reference architectures, and practical implementation guides.
  • **Ethical Governance:** Our resources cover critical frameworks like the IEEE 7000 Series Standards, the Ethically Aligned Design (EAD) Framework, and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.

**Our Goal:** Empower decision-makers to make fully informed choices, independent of information provided by vendors whose focus is driving particular technology choices.

HyperAlliant Software: Ensuring Cost-Effective, Ethical AI Use

We sponsor and manage open-source software applications designed to help government agencies and organizations implement artificial intelligence both responsibly and cost-effectively.

  • **Objective LLM Comparison:** Our tools allow organizations to quickly and objectively compare the cost and resources consumed by various Large Language Models (LLMs) for their specific needs.
  • **Data Impact Visualization:** We provide a low-cost, quick way to identify and visualize how specific data sets impact model responses to certain queries.

HyperAlliant Workforce: Adapting Careers for the Future

We help both underemployed and fully employed workers learn new technologies and adapt their career plans to mitigate the negative impact of rapid technological change.

  • **Skills Development:** We collaborate with government agencies, contractors, and software companies to create targeted training programs.
  • **Career Pathways:** We develop internship and apprenticeship programs to equip at-risk workers with the skills necessary for employment in the evolving IT landscape.
