Changing the user, not the technology
When building a tool to improve access to justice for women in Tanzania our biggest successes came from more than just improving the AI architecture.
What the Oxford Institute of Technology and Justice taught us about testing tech for justice
Reflecting on insights from our Access to Justice Learning Brief with Sara Wahedi at the Oxford Institute of Technology and Justice.
What does international development look like in the Age of AI?
As we end our AI mini-series, join us for a Field Trip to the Future.
Are we about to waste it?
From Sierra Leone to Sri Lanka: the case for building AI together.
What happens when the algorithm marks its own homework?
The responsible AI decisions that matter most rarely arrive labelled as such.
Access to Justice: a new learning brief
Introducing our latest learning brief on integrating AI and other technologies to improve access to justice for survivors in low-resource and post-conflict settings
The age of AI: Ten years in, looking ten years on
Ten years ago, tech was stuff you could pick up and drop on your toes. Now it’s often AI + X. What might AI make newly possible for people doing development in the future?
The age of AI: what's worth testing in the future that’s emerging?
Fitting AI to real systems, building institutions that can work with it, and testing new arrangements that shift power over how it is developed and used.
If you're not online, are you in the future?
AI is a snapshot of the past. Ten years of AI pilots taught us that the constraint is rarely the algorithm.
The road to OASIS (and an invitation to use it yourself)
OASIS is a shared, open home for AI in development, where practitioners can find, discuss and build on each other's work rather than starting from scratch. Come and join us.
Responsible AI on the Frontier
The value of testing something imperfect often outweighs the cost of not testing it at all.
Piloting AI before it became mainstream
How can you cut through the noise of superabundant AI content? By telling stories of impactful AI that no one has ever heard before.
In the battle for trust, AI is a problem and can be a solution
Can AI enable civil society organisations, culturally and contextually embedded but often under-resourced, to act faster and at a more ambitious scale to create more resilient societies, and to detect mis- and disinformation initiatives more effectively?
Where is the frontier today?
Here are ten things we learned from our 10th call for applications.
Building AI tools in a year that felt like ten: Technical learnings from DevExplorer
As AI capabilities evolved at breakneck speed, the DevExplorer team rebuilt their tool three times in a single year. This blog reflects on the technical and organisational lessons learned from building an LLM-powered product for international development in a rapidly shifting AI landscape.
Making space to play with AI
Despite growing confidence in AI, there’s more appetite than ever to experiment with and learn about it in safe, low-risk ways. Here are three ways we've been intentionally creating space to play with AI.
On the Frontier of Biodiversity Data
Each month we take one global critical challenge and explore what’s happening on the frontier of innovation. This month we're On the Frontier of Biodiversity Data.
On the Frontier of Health Chatbots
Each month we take one global critical challenge and explore what’s happening on the frontier of innovation. This month we're On the Frontier of Health Chatbots.
LLMs in International Development - A Recipe for Success?
Have you ever tried a recipe box for cooking? We’ve developed a similar, recipe-based approach for using our LLM tool, to help users understand what’s possible when creating a knowledge product.
On the Frontier of Generative AI
Each month we take one global critical challenge and explore what’s happening on the frontier of innovation. This month we're on the Frontier of Generative AI.
