Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Development

Current Initiative

Overview

Building networks and finding solutions have defined The Rockefeller Foundation since its beginning. The AI for Development team helps technical teams translate AI solutions into real-world applications aimed at enhancing the quality of life for all.

We help make partnerships between philanthropies, tech companies, and the organizations and people doing work on the ground. These connections create the partnerships that program teams can invest in. We put inclusivity and equity at the center of this work, and we’re working to drive safe, inclusive AI innovations and to integrate AI solutions into climate work across the Foundation. This way we can increase economic opportunities, enhance educational opportunities, and address climate crises.

Why it Matters

Innovation is critical to deal with a changing world, increasing sustainability, and equitably supporting human well-being.
