Why I Started Voice For Change
“Like any grassroots movement, it usually starts with a SINGLE voice.”
- Kevin Bihan-Poudec, Founder
I’m Kevin Bihan-Poudec, an AI ethics advocate, data analyst, and French immigrant who has called the United States home for over 15 years. With more than a decade of experience in data analytics, I’ve witnessed firsthand the recent disruptive rise of artificial intelligence—its potential to empower us, but also its unchecked impact on workers, opportunity, and economic stability.My personal journey navigating a saturated job market shaped by automation and AI-driven hiring systems inspired me to launch the Voice For Change Foundation: a nonprofit dedicated to protecting workers, promoting ethical AI governance, and ensuring technology serves people—not replaces them.Voice For Change exists to amplify diverse voices in shaping a future where innovation uplifts communities. Through public advocacy, global outreach, and AI-powered policy research, I’ve engaged directly with U.S. and international leaders—including the White House on the need for international cooperation to responsibly regulate AI development, the French Élysée under President Emmanuel Macron on a Global AI Ethics Charter, and members of Congress through my open letter titled "Act Now" aimed at the U.S. Congress urging stronger protections for the American workforce in the face of AI disruption—to push for a more equitable and ethical AI future.In addition to direct outreach to leaders, my work spans a broad set of actionable solutions—from addressing the socioeconomic divide and proposing federal AI governance, to developing blueprints for tackling the $37.5 trillion U.S. debt through responsible automation, my mission has remained the same: to leverage AI for good. This includes guiding the Federal Reserve toward its 2% inflation target, introducing a 120-day framework for ethical innovation and workforce resilience, advancing climate-focused AI research, developing an AI agent workforce impact mitigation plan, and exploring breakthrough solutions such as achieving practical net-positive energy from nuclear fusion. Whether mitigating layoffs, expanding access to reskilling, safeguarding national security, or ensuring that technological progress translates into shared prosperity—not inequality—the goal remains clear: to make AI work for everyone.But this platform isn’t just about me. Change may begin with a single voice, but it grows with many. Voice For Change is here to spark that collective movement, uniting workers, policymakers, and communities to #ActNowOnAI and shape a future where technology strengthens both dignity and opportunity.
