📣 Introducing the initiatives supported by the Data Empowerment Fund I'm so pleased to be able to share the eight initiatives we're now supporting via the Data Empowerment Fund, selected from more than 800 applications from around the world. They are: ⏩ Digital Aotearoa Collective ⏩ Hush Line ⏩ Growing Turkopticon for the Fight Against Mass Rejections ⏩ Community collection of linguistic resources for bias assessment in language technologies ⏩ Data4Mods: Content Moderators’ Collective Power through Data ⏩ Content Moderators United for Data and Digital Rights ⏩ Grassroots AI-supported news monitoring with human rights organizations ⏩ Ushahidi Climate Data Equity Initiative Each demonstrates a future where people are more able to participate in the systems of data collection, use and sharing that shape their lives. And together, they address some of the world’s most pressing challenges – including ensuring fair work, tackling the climate crisis and governing artificial intelligence. I'm looking forward to working with and learning from the initiatives as they evolve.
