The AI and Volunteering Summit

“We're at the moment in the middle of multiple healthcare crises especially around chronic diseases and mental health, and I profoundly believe that AI can help us transform health outcomes. The moonshot for me is not what AI becomes, but what AI helps us become.”

“If this works well, we will be healthier, smarter, and more aware of each other. And I don't mean we can do integral calculus better, but we will know about each other more, and therefore be more patient, inclusive, and helpful of each other. We will also be more aware and appreciative of the differences of people around the world.”

“AI in education is evolving rapidly. We're faced with both extraordinary opportunities and critical questions about equity, access, and the role of human connection. While we're seeing unprecedented opportunities to scale everything from personalized learning to academic s- support through AI, we're also grappling with how to ensure these innovations truly serve all students and all learners. The challenge isn't just about implementing AI, it's about implementing it in ways that close opportunity gaps rather than widen them.”

“As technology evolves at such a rapid pace, we have a responsibility to ensure that underserved communities are active participants, not just passive recipients. Because it's not just about the technology,  it's really about how it can empower your mission, and how it can help you solve real problems.”

"For all the non-profits out there considering how you could do more with AI, I would urge you to be very intentional about setting aside budget and time for experimentation around this, because the state of the art is evolving and changes every couple of months."

“We want to create a global volunteering movement where millions of people start volunteering. Volunteering isn’t just about giving to others—it’s also something that helps you. And we believe AI can be a powerful force multiplier as we scale this movement.”
