Philanthropies Launch New Initiative to Ensure Artificial Intelligence Advances the Public Interest

A group of ten leading philanthropies announced a bold new initiative to ensure that AI advances the public interest in the areas of need identified by Vice President Kamala Harris. Participating foundations are committed to leveraging and aligning grantmaking toward progress on these urgent issues. These institutions are collectively contributing more than $200 million in funding toward public interest efforts to mitigate AI harms and promote responsible use and innovation. Going forward, they will coordinate new actions in this space and will convene in the new year with a cross-sector set of actors to take stock of progress.

World Malaria Day 2022 | Harnessing Innovation To Reduce The Malaria Disease Burden And Save Lives.

World Malaria Day (WMD) is an international observance commemorated every year on the 25th of April. It is a day set aside to recognize the global efforts in combating Malaria. WMD, first observed in 2008, evolved out of Africa Malaria Day, which had been observed annually since 2001, when African Leaders meeting under the auspices of the African Union signed the Abuja Declaration, committing to step-up efforts in fighting and eradicating Malaria in Africa. The theme for World Malaria Day 2022 is to harness innovation to reduce the malaria disease burden and save lives.

“In my work, I strive to improve the health, hygiene and well-being of women, children and infants, especially those at the base of the pyramid. The future of Africa will be determined by her young people. A lot of young Africans are changing the narrative through their work across the continent. It’s that can-do spirit that inspires me. As he sees it, it’s up to young leaders to advocate for change in their communities, setting the stage for a better, brighter future.”
