?? Calling all organisations using AI to progress the Global Goals

Hello Friend,

Even though it sometimes feels invisible in how our everyday unfolds, AI increasingly impacts our daily lives, from finding the best cycling route to helping us with home tasks and customizing our learning pathways. While some have a more individual impact, responsibly-applied AI can unlock new opportunities to collectively tackle some of the world's most pressing social challenges.

That is why we are pleased to partner with Google.org to support?AI for the Global Goals. This is an open call for organisations using AI to help accelerate progress against the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Google.org is committing $25M to support the most promising ideas.

If you or your organisation is working on a project that explores this, has an explicit charitable purpose, and applies AI to accelerate progress towards the SDGs, then we encourage you to consider applying. The challenge is open to not-for-profit organisations, academic and research institutions, or for-profit social enterprises.

Applications are?now open?and will be reviewed on a rolling basis. So don't hesitate to?contact us?if you have any questions or want to learn more.

Best wishes,

Javiera
