The OpenAI Foundation announced the launch of "AI for Civil Society and Philanthropy," a new program dedicated to helping nonprofits and community organizations leverage advanced AI for current challenges.
The first effort is a $100 million commitment with the Common Health Coalition to launch "Breakthroughs to Follow-through." This initiative aims to use AI to help care teams identify patients who have fallen out of care, synthesize records, and track progress, starting with the goal of doubling hepatitis C cure rates in four states including Alabama.
