Freedom tech grants: how HRF backs the builders

Harrison leads freedom tech grants at the Human Rights Foundation, the program that funds open-source, privacy-preserving, censorship-resistant tools for human rights defenders around the world. He walks through how the program actually works: what HRF looks for, how projects get funded, and where the AI for Individual Rights program fits into supporting the kind of open model and open agent work this room is about. If you are building freedom tech and wondering how work like yours gets supported, this is the hour to find out. Come with questions about your own project.

Part of THE AI UNDERGROUND: ATL BitLab, Atlanta, GA, August 15-16, 2026. One badge covers both days.
