Huge thanks to partners @vilasdhar, @PJMFdn, @BHGosselink, @Googleorg for your wisdom along the way

We’ve also launched WRI’s new Responsible AI Approach to describe the principles & practices we use every day to ensure AI serves people, nature, and climate:

Too often, AI is talked about like an unstoppable, unmanageable force of nature. The real question isn’t what AI will do to us. It’s how we choose to use it, and how we guard against the risks.

New from me on @WorldResources's Insights Blog: AI Can Help or Harm the Planet. It’s Up to Us.

Approaching AI with genuine curiosity is one of the best hacks for finding value and avoiding harm. Excited to join Felicitas and Abhilash to explore how our teams do this. Big thanks to @PJMFdn for their AI leadership and for bringing us together. Join us Sept 18!

We’re sharing this to start conversations and collaborations. If you're working on these themes—as a researcher, funder, policymaker or technologist—let's talk!

The first post introduces the series: https://t.co/ARwk3vA4C5 Stay tuned for posts on: the strategies we’re backing, the product ideas we’re incubating, the infrastructure we’re improving

The result is a four-part blog series based on conversations with WRI teams and close collaborators. It charts what’s next for us: strategies, product ideas, and infrastructure.

Earlier this year, our Product Studio team (shoutout @trevorhinkle3 , Despina Gkotsidou, and Tea Tüür) stepped back to look at what’s on the horizon across WRI’s portfolio.

At the Data Lab, our privilege is helping bring these ideas to life by shaping strategies and building useful and usable products in partnership with amazing teams across WRI. 2/n

When I onboard new folks to @WRIDataLab, I describe WRI as a Grand Bazaar of ideas to help people, nature, and climate. From products with decade-long impact to cutting edge AI, it’s exciting, sometimes overwhelming, and always unique. 🧵

The "Gap Map" from @Convergent_FROs identifies hundreds of bottlenecks and capabilities, which, if addressed, could accelerate the pace of science and innovation. What if we had a FRO and ambitious startups for each one of them? See
