Dataminr’s AI for Good program aims to support social good organizations that have a compelling use-case for cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology. This application-based, technical grant provides select organizations with tailored AI solutions to drive transformational impact for people and the planet.
Artificial Intelligence can help to identify trends and patterns in data, automate manual tasks, increase efficiency, and allocate resources effectively. Selected applicants will have the opportunity to engage in an in-depth, three to nine month AI for Good collaboration where our team of AI researchers will turn your proposed idea into a functional AI solution.
If you had the support of Dataminr’s team of AI researchers to leverage publicly available data to support your work, what would you want to do?
In 2022, Dataminr worked with United Nations Human Rights to develop an AI model to improve detection and classification of attacks on human rights defenders. Before working with Dataminr, UN Human Rights relied on painstaking, manual efforts to gather the necessary data to create accurate reports on such attacks. Leveraging the AI model to automate the process, UN Human Rights has improved detection of attacks by over 100-fold, shining a stronger light on the issue and hopefully, creating a safer space for human rights advocacy.
Dataminr processes over half a million publicly available data sources every day. The sheer volume of this data can seem overwhelming, which is where our AI comes in. We bring more than a decade of industry-leading AI expertise to support these AI for Good projects, particularly in drawing insights from a wide variety of sources including text, audio, image, and sensor data.
Dataminr delivers the earliest warnings on high-impact events and critical information far in advance of other sources. Recognized as one of the world's leading AI businesses, Dataminr enables faster response, more effective risk mitigation and stronger crisis management for public and private sector organizations spanning global corporations, first responders, NGOs and newsrooms. Dataminr is one of New York's top private technology companies, with 800+ employees across seven global offices.
At Dataminr, we are committed to leveraging the power of AI and real-time information as a force for good. Dataminr’s Social Good team supports leading organizations including the United Nations, Direct Relief and the World Wildlife Fund, delivering real-time alerts via our AI platform so they can know first, act faster and better serve the world's most vulnerable.
Our Social Innovation Lab partners closely with nonprofits to identify critical challenges and develop innovative AI and alerting solutions with game-changing, positive impact on people and our planet. Together, our Social Good programs help partners save and improve lives, and influence policy for a safer, more equitable and sustainable future.
Dataminr’s real-time AI platform processes comprehensive, diverse public data sources at scale—using a range of advanced AI methods. We’ve been pioneering AI and machine learning systems for real-time event detection since 2010, when we filed our first natural language processing and machine learning patent for detecting events in micro blogs.
Our team of data scientists, engineers and researchers use a range of deep learning AI methods from a number of scientific fields, ranging from natural language processing, natural language understanding, natural language generation, computer vision, audio processing and classification and anomaly detection on both machine and human-generated public data streams.
Qualified multilateral and nonprofit organizations are encouraged to apply.
