AI & Social Welfare

Funders’ briefing: AI & Social Welfare

As governments across Europe digitise their public services, they are increasingly adopting AI and other automated decision-making tools into their social welfare systems. The European Union alone has committed 30 billion euros towards this transformation.

In our first funders’ briefing paper, the European AI & Society Fund sets out the challenges of AI & welfare. We highlight impactful investigations by Amnesty International, Civio, Lighthouse Reports and useful guidance by Algorithm Audit. And outline how philanthropists can support more civil society organisations can investigate, take action and guide governments to run better welfare systems.
