Educating our children is one of our most important societal responsibilities. When leaning into technology as an educational resource, it's crucial to invest time in understanding the unique needs of students, teachers, and administrators - ensuring that they receive the classroom support that technology can provide. Successful implementation in this setting requires skilled leaders who design technology with these users in mind. As new technological innovations enter our schools, we have the opportunity to revolutionize how learning is done. Increased literacy, equitable practices, and personalized learning experiences are all within reach - by actively involving educators and students in the conversation, true transformation begins.

We have the power to bridge divides in digital access, data use, and innovation with artificial intelligence. By advocating for inclusive policies and providing the right resources, we can implement frameworks that ensure AI is grounded in ethics - and serves the critical needs of civil society. On September 19 at 8:30 AM ET, PJMF President Vilas Dhar, alongside Eleonore Fournier-Tombs, Anna-Karin Eneström, Doreen Bogdan-Martin, Chola Milambo, Ph.D., Tshilidzi Marwala チリツィ マルワラ [丸笑], and Joel Rosenthal, will share expert insights on how AI can best serve our global population.

As both parties are gearing up to shape the future of our nation, a critical question looms: how do our lawmakers regulate emerging technologies in a landscape where they evolve so rapidly? The need for legislation is clear - and Washington must move quickly enough to stay ahead of the curve. In a recent The Wall Street Journal article, PJMF President Vilas Dhar emphasized the critical need for legislation that holds tech companies accountable for the impact of their products. Rather than controlling their actions, this approach ties liability to the outcomes of those actions. This way, lawmakers can incentivize companies to ground their development processes in safety and ethics - where AI is not only regulated but is created for the benefit of civil society.

At the heart of technology innovation lives a shared belief in human resilience. When we tap into our innate desires to build a better world, we can create new ways for tech to support our communities. In a recent MetLife Triangle Tech Talk, PJMF President Vilas Dhar shared expert insights on the impact of AI-powered opportunities when viewed through a lens of optimism and curiosity. Tech is most powerful when it supports our collective purpose - when we include a wide range of journeys, perspectives, and needs in the conversation, we can create a future that is not only innovative, but also deeply aligned with our societal values.

For AI to effectively address global climate challenges, innovators need comprehensive, context-specific data from communities that experience them firsthand. This data is crucial for creating equitable and practical solutions to issues like rising sea levels, extreme weather, and food insecurity. PJMF Strategy Analyst Topaz Mukulu discussed the importance of inclusive data collection at the 2024 Climate Crossroads panel. Accurate, representative data helps technology better address regional climate challenges and supports the needs of global communities.

Using artificial intelligence (AI) in the context of criminal justice introduces a variety of challenges and risks. But when leveraged in a responsible manner that’s grounded in human rights, AI can help judges, lawyers, and civil society access the data, knowledge, and empowerment they need to deliver justice for survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) and create open mechanisms for detecting and preventing further instances of GBV at scale. Organizations like DataGénero - Observatorio are working in Latin America to build mechanisms for gender equity and justice through AI, intersectional education, and collaborative approaches. Please join us on Thursday, August 15th at 1pm EST for a timely and poignant conversation between Ivana Feldfeber, the Co-founder and Executive Director at DataGénero, and Yolanda Botti-Lodovico, the Storytelling and Advocacy Lead at The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation. They will discuss how their team is using AI to expand our awareness of GBV in Argentina, the importance of infusing our global AI and data ecosystem with a broad commitment to transfeminism, and how humans working in partnership can promote justice and equity for all persons, regardless of their gender identity and/or sexual orientation. #artificialintelligence #ai #gender #genderequity #intersectionality #feminism #transfeminism #socialimpact #criminaljustice #humanrights #justice #technology #data #techforgood #aiforgood #publicpolicy #philanthropy #nonprofits

National AI policies create an opportunity for countries to build robust frameworks that guide the ethical and responsible use of emerging technologies. Governments can prioritize the swift adoption of regulatory frameworks to ensure that AI is used in ways that truly serve and protect their citizens. PJMF Partner UNESCO, under the visionary leadership of Gabriela Ramos, conducted a study in Chile to assess how prepared countries are to implement AI ethically and responsibly. AI can provide a helping hand for civil society members all around the world, but governments must be prepared to engage in informed, human-centric policy. See the lessons learned on the UNESCO webpage: https://lnkd.in/eVkxXhmR #AI #EthicalAI #AIPolicy

Artificial intelligence has shown tremendous promise as an aid to healthcare workers in all corners - from medical researchers to those providing care on the front lines. In order to benefit from these emerging technologies, development must be guided by the patients and caregivers who rely on them most. In a recent Stanford Social Innovation Review piece, PJMF’s Nick Cain and Fast Forward's Kevin Barenblat highlight the ways that Intelehealth, Jacaranda Health, and Reboot Rx center patient and caregiver perspectives at the heart of AI development, and ensure that these technologies address the most pressing health challenges equitably.
