Tech for social good
Using technology to address social issues.
As a CS+Social Good fellow and AI4ALL alum, I found that I could use my experience with AI and computer science to solve current social problems.
Raheem, where I’m interning, is a nonprofit that aims to end police terror. They have a database containing narratives of encounters with police and no quick way to analyze the data or traverse it. I indexed the database for fast search and put the location of each encounter on a map of the city, color-coding the points by encounter type.
This kind of work has challenged me to think through the humanistic implications of the tech I make and see where I can help the most.
