Google.org offering Fund to accelerate progress towards the Global Goals
About
The Google.org AI for the Global Goals Call for Applications is now open to find organizations around the world that are using artificial intelligence (AI) to help accelerate progress against the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
At Google, it is believed that artificial intelligence can provide new ways of approaching problems and meaningfully improve people’s lives. AI provides another tool to explore and address hard questions across all sectors of society - from quickly and accurately forecasting floods to connecting people in transition to education and job opportunities.
That’s why Google is excited to expand the commitment to launching and scaling AI tools that help organizations tackle some of the world’s biggest problems. Building off of Google.org’s previous investments in AI for Social Good, Google is launching an open call to find organizations around the world that are using AI to create new, innovative solutions to advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Project
Accelerating progress, with the help of AI.
As Google near the halfway point of the goals, it's clear that the global community has made great strides. But the COVID-19 pandemic set back progress in many ways, and they still have a long way to go.
In Google’s work with nonprofits, universities, governments and others, Google has seen that AI can reduce the time and resources needed to make progress against some of the world's toughest challenges.
