This looks very interesting! With vast amounts of geospatial data at our fingertips, seems like earth observation is an area ripe for good AI tools to help people monitor and understand our dynamic planet as well as measure a range of impacts.

The data @ClimateTRACE has pulled together on its platform to catalog and map individual sources of carbon emissions around the world is incredible. climatetrace.org/approach
Love seeing this story on the significance of Africa's burgeoning youth demographic in the @nytimes that combines data with personal stories bringing to life what this trend might mean for the region & the world: nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Wow! This is amazing AI technology that vastly reduces the time and complexity of gleaning insights from satellite imagery. Use cases for this seem endless.

Incredibly powerful animated visual storytelling from the @nytimes telling the story of Hiroshima survivor Akiko Takakura. nytimes.com/2023/04/04/opi…
Every dense flagship policy report from the UN, World Bank etc should hire Alexander Skarsgard to communicate the key messages: nytimes.com/2023/03/28/opi…
Wow. Clearly a major leap in the utility of search. I really like that you can ask it to organize information into tables…
This comment on the FT’s article on Microsoft’s investment in OpenAI made me chuckle….
This was a great webinar highlighting the findings and applications of the @GlobalFindex data. I found @JMorduch's short reflections (towards the end of the session) on financial resilience particularly thought provoking and useful. Thanks for this @poverty_action!

Chile’s tax and transfer system does comparatively little to reduce income inequality from earnings. Interesting proposal by @IGNACIOBRIONES to expand the use of cash transfers to reduce inequality and incentivize formalization of economic activity.

Why does powerful Artificial Intelligence pose a risk that could make all of our lives much, much worse in the coming years? There are many good texts on question, but they are often long. 🧵I'm trying to summarize the fundamental problem in a brief Twitter thread.
In 2022 the @WorldBank launched a new online platform for poverty and inequality data (replacing PovcalNet). Join @WorldBankdata & @WBG_Poverty for this training session on how to use the platform, access estimates through R and Stata, and access the underlying microdata.👇
