In a world retreating into trade wars and isolationism, our team at MIT Solve is leaning forward. We just came out of our spring retreat for 4 days of post-its, memes, skits and ice-cream more resolute than ever. As global development budgets shrink and defense spending rises, every remaining philanthropic dollar faces mounting pressure. This makes MIT Solve's approach even more vital. ?? When resources are limited, we need innovation that delivers more with less. ?? When funding decisions are critical, our track record of identifying the most promising solutions is unbeatable. ?? When foreign aid recedes, self-reliance replaces it, with proximate innovators and funders playing the essential role. Tech should serve humanity's most pressing needs, not just its most profitable markets. And the Solve community -and team - has everything required to make that vision reality. #TechForHumanity #ProximateInnovation #SystemChange #MITSolve #SocialImpact #Innovation #TechForGood

AI has been heralded as a panacea for centuries-old social challenges. But the reality is more nuanced. Its true power lies not in miracle solutions but in its targeted application to specific, entrenched problems: clearing judicial backlogs that deny timely justice, correcting biased property valuations that perpetuate wealth gaps, and expanding financial access to the historically excluded. Check my latest article on Forbes to read about four interesting applications of #ProSocialAI driven by MIT Solve Adalat AI Lucrefy @Just Value ?? While the potential of AI is gigantic - the most compelling and cumbersome insight of our relentless technology race may be that AI's success in solving human challenges depends not on algorithms but on the ambitions and actions of those humans who harness its capabilities for social good.
