Karya was recently showcased at the Google I/O Connect, where we demonstrated how Karya’s tech team used Gemini to design a no-code chatbot that enables our partners across the globe to create custom workflows in their languages. Owing to powerful use cases of GenAI tools, the Karya Platform - a digital work platform that allows our participants to build AI datasets from the comfort of their homes - will reach 10 countries this year. For instance, a partner based in Ethiopia may require users to respond to an image and construct a multimodal dataset. Gemini comprehends the prompt and generates the config file—which is notably extensive and intricate—within seconds. This year, Karya will also bring AI jobs to 100,000 people across rural India and the Karya Platform is at the core of this. We are thrilled to use the Karya Platform to continue expanding our scale of impact and enabling low-income communities across the world to build truly ethical and inclusive AI.

Team Karya wins Best Paper Award at the ACM FAccT Conference 🎉 🎉🎉 ACM, Association for Computing Machinery FAccT is the pivotal computer science conference uniting researchers and practitioners who are dedicated to advancing fairness, accountability, and transparency within socio-technical systems. We are thrilled to share that we won the Best Paper Award at ACM FAccT 2024. Led by our incredible partners at Microsoft Research (the always-phenomenal Dr. Kalika Bali, Rishav Hada, Varun Gumma, Aditya Vashistha, Harshita Diddee, Agrima Seth, Ujwal Gadiraju), members of Team Karya (Safiya Husain, Aditya Yadavalli, Nidhi Kulkarni, Vivek Seshadri) worked together to conduct research on involving rural and low-income community women in uncovering diverse perceptions of gender bias. Addressing gender bias in technology is crucial to bridge the digital gender gap and promote a more inclusive and equitable digital society. Due to increasing adoption of language technologies in various languages, it is imperative to understand the biases these models can propagate not only in English but also in different languages and cultures. Unfortunately, however, much of the research in measuring and mitigating gender bias is in the context of the English and the Global North. This paper presents the first comprehensive study delving into the nuanced landscape of gender bias in Hindi, the third most spoken language globally, and this recognition helps us further make the case that low-income communities globally are both excellent builders and excellent beneficiaries of AI. This research was supported by the Gates Foundation, and I am eternally grateful to Janet Zhou, Jamie Zimmerman, Suhel Bidani, Arjun Venkatraman, Micah Sivitz Gellman, Diva Dhar, and everyone at Team BMGF for their support.
