Description
This opportunity from Coefficient Giving supports initiatives that address the implications of transformative artificial intelligence for global health and wellbeing, with a particular focus on risks and opportunities for the global poor and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The program welcomes proposals for research, policy analysis, infrastructure development, field-building, and direct implementation that anticipate and prepare for how AI could reshape health and economic outcomes. Projects should aim to minimize potential downsides and maximize benefits of AI, including preparatory work, public communication, and policy engagement. Funding is available for a wide range of activities, from exploratory research to launching new organizations or large-scale institutional capacity-building.
