AI and Data in Service of Philanthropy: Perspectives from Global Development

AI and Data in Service of Philanthropy: Perspectives from Global Development

Description

An overview of some of the approaches by the Global Development Strategy, Data, & Analytics team in using AI for our work at The Bill & Melinda Gates foundation. As a philanthropy whose existence was made possible by the digital revolution, we rely on the transformative power of digital technologies like AI to reduce or eliminate inequities in a limited set of focus areas where we believe significant reduction is possible. Some of these AI approaches include processing of drone, satellite and crowd-sourced imagery for optimal correlations of populations with facilities and people movement to improve quality of care; conducting natural language processing of demand-side and social media data to better understand the communities we serve; employing machine learning to make predictions for better precision targeting as well as the advanced analyses of disparate data sets to model behavior change and to understand how we can better serve the most vulnerable in low income settings, etc. The presentation will be followed by a Q & A.
