One New Thing: Colleges Use AI to Address Civic Challenges
RethinkAI’s work is highlighted as a resource for higher education institutions interested in civic AI.
RethinkAI
RethinkAI brings together disparate partners to harness artificial intelligence for stronger communities. We work with governments, researchers, community organizations, and the public to drive artificial intelligence solutions that tackle persistent problems, shape policies that reflect community needs, and strengthen the relationship between public institutions and the people they serve. To accomplish this, RethinkAI mobilizes technical and local expertise to support pilots, activates regional and national networks, and provides tools and methods so that civic AI can address challenges such as affordable housing, environmental justice, and community safety. See the national network of thinkers and field leaders who make up RethinkAI’s civic AI advisory trust.
