About the Event:
Social impact organizations are already using AI to help solve some of the world’s biggest challenges—but not yet at the speed we need.
The 2025 Accelerate Report, informed by our global network of partners and five years of program delivery at data.org, is a roadmap for how data and AI can be used innovatively and intentionally to drive social impact. From fair finance to workforce upskilling, the report highlights the people, practices, and technology accelerating progress where it’s needed most.
On Thursday, September 25, data.org will host an in-person convening at the Harvard Club of New York City, bringing together cross-sector leaders to experience the report in action. Explore stories of impact from global innovators advancing mission-driven AI, learn from capacity building experts developing the data and AI workforce of the future, and connect with a global network to discuss the report’s three recommendations for shaping the future of AI for social impact.
