We're honored to be developing open source tools as part of the Technology Tools part of this 10M round of grants. Our Aselo project is planning to work on practical applications of AI for helplines spanning North America, the Caribbean and Africa.
👏 Congratulations to our 23 new grantees awarded USD 10M to tackle digital harms! With these strategic investments, Safe Online continues to lead the fight against online threats to children, promoting safety in the digital space. #SafeOnline bit.ly/OpenCallAwarde…
@SafeOnlineFund A9. We want to better equip the helpline staff assisting children experiencing online harms. Our goal at @TechMatters is to double the number helped with the same number of counselors. #SafeOnline
@SafeOnlineFund A8. Pt 2. The child helplines pool their aggregate data and share it with @CHIamsterdam for their global reports. And some helpline partners allow us to use de-identified data to train AI models to improve our collective ability to respond to children's needs online. 2/2
@SafeOnlineFund A8. Pt 1 Our Aselo project has privileged access to the data collected by our helpline partners, who agree to working together with their peers to better listen to the voices of children all over the world. 1/2
@SafeOnlineFund @SafeOnline A7: @SafeOnlineFund is an engaged funder that not only supports our open source development work with funding, but also connects us to a vibrant community of organizations with complementary missions, as well as policymakers in the field. Yay!
@SafeOnlineFund A6. Pt 2. We also have worked with @OpenAI to implement their zero-data-retention (ZDR) policy for our project, because of the sensitive nature of these conversations. We expect to also be looking at open source options as part of the project. Lots of exciting work ahead! 2/2
@SafeOnlineFund A6. Pt 1. We are working with a number of AI companies to support different parts of this effort supported by @SafeOnlineFund, such as scrubbing text transcripts of personally identifiable information before training AI models. 1/2
@SafeOnlineFund A3. The ease of automating approaches to young people online is quite concerning, as it makes it easy for perpetrators to customize their messages to engage with young people (against their interests).
@SafeOnlineFund A2. The inimitable Jeroo Billimoria (founder of Childline India and CHI) convinced our founder, @JimFruchterman, to bring online capabilities to the global child helpline movement, by adding social media communications to a new platform for helplines: Aselo. #SafeOnline
Join @SafeOnlineFund for an X chat with @TechMatters and 22 other grantees who received $10 million for innovative projects to combat digital threats. Starts in an hour! 📅 Date: June 26, 2024 ⏰ Time: 9am EST (3pm CET) #DigitalSafety #SafeOnline
“you’re actually using [AI] to help people instead of making everyone terrified. So please, tell us more about using AI for good,” inquires @JimFruchterman from @TechMatters. Tune into this podcast to hear @TalkingPointsEd's @heejpeej response 🎙️ bit.ly/3xpvhpY
Great to see our own Steve Francis (@SteveF4Good) getting published by Forbes on why we do what we do on #TechForGood
I don't write much (and had lots of help), so reading this is a unique opportunity: "How Open-Source Software Empowers Nonprofits and the Global Communities They Serve" via @forbes forbes.com/sites/forbeseq… @DigiDem @digitalgreenorg @kobotoolbox @Benetech @TechMatters
🌟 Grantee spotlight: We were so excited to see our partners @TechMatters launch the Better Deal for Data coalition. The Better Deal for Data collaborative is developing guidelines to create a simplified and socially responsible approach to collecting, storing, analyzing, and using data. Here is a link to contribute a use case or join the coalition: bd4d.org
It was so much fun talking about data and AI last week at the #SkollWF. Thanks to the @SkollFoundation for this fun clip on getting more representative data! #DataforGood #BetterDealforData
What's one key to ensuring AI can better help us? @TechMatters CEO @JimFruchterman says nonprofits need more "representative" data on issues to train AI models. Watch the short #SkollWF clip.
