India’s Myna Mahila Foundation among winners of Generative AI Skills challenge

Data.org together with Microsoft announced five winners of the Generative AI Skills Challenge, a global grant to explore, develop, and implement ways for organizations to train, upskill, and reskill the workforce to use generative AI. Myna Mahila Foundation, an Indian organisation, was among the five winners — chosen from a pool of nearly 600 applicants across 93 countries.

Myna Mahila Foundation’s project will build on their successful training model for a network of 1,500 women, known as RANI workers. This project will train a portion of the network in generative AI to power a text-based AI platform designed to dispel misconceptions around women’s health. The organization will establish a feedback loop process that includes doctors and medical professionals to ensure that responses combating misconceptions are accurate.
