SXSW 2021
For a Life-Saving Nonprofit, AI is a Game-Changer
Description:
For many organizations, the use of AI automates back-office tasks or scaling a hiring process. For nonprofits like The Trevor Project, implementing AI means greater impact in saving young LGBTQ lives.
Trevor seeks to optimize its services by using AI as an enhancement to the human touch. In partnership with Google.org, The Trevor Project explores how new AI models can support its mission by pairing highly trained humans who care with world-class technology.
This session will address innovative and strategic use-cases for technology that expand the reach of Trevor's crisis services – in particular, new people-centric AI systems to assess risk and to scale crisis counselor training to save more lives.
