Response to USAID's Request for Comment on AI in Global Development Playbook
Stanford HAI and The Asia Foundation (TAF) submitted a joint response to the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Request for Information on its AI in Global Development Playbook. The response calls for an approach to AI in global development that is grounded in local perspectives and tailored to the specific circumstances of Global Majority countries.
Stanford HAI and TAF share the common goal of ensuring that Global Majority countries can develop and leverage AI responsibly. The response is part of our joint efforts to facilitate research, education programs, and convenings to bolster global dialogue on AI that incorporates on-the-ground perspectives from Global Majority contexts. We draw on HAI’s strengths in rigorous, evidence-based research and policy engagement together with TAF’s extensive conversations and programming with local partners across more than 20 countries in the Asia-Pacific.
