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!

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.

The @paloaltoweekly just published my bittersweet farewell to @Benetech's offices after two decades spent on California Avenue. Palo Alto was a great place to grow our nonprofit tech company!

I really enjoyed this short book which explains why laws against tinkering are not good for (almost all of) humanity!
It probably will get outlawed in Florida.

This pilot is really important to @Aselo_org and @TechMatters: if this works well in India, we hope to expand it to other countries, helping child stop their intimate images from being circulated online. #CSAM #IBSA

We're quite excited about this additional funding for @Aselo_org from the #SafeOnline program @GPtoEndViolence. When we were at the major meeting of the child helplines last fall, the complex challenge of dealing with repeat callers was a huge issue!

We just posted a new role for a Business Development Fellow to be the first full-time person working on raising money (grants and earned income). It's a great opportunity for an MBA (or equivalent) who wants to work with our senior management team! 1/2

Wow, I have been spending time in the last couple of months cautioning helplines against doing something this crazy. Brilliant move, @NEDAstaff <heavy sarcasm>. Oh, sorry, the staff are the victims of this move.
