Dataminr partners with social good organizations to scale humanitarian and human rights work through the use of AI

NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Dataminr, one of the world’s leading AI companies, today announced the selection of its 2024 AI for Good Partners. After a competitive application process that began in April, Dataminr is excited to designate the Data Entry and Exploration Platform (DEEP) and Mnemonic as the two partners that will receive tailored AI solutions to drive transformational impact for people and the planet.

Now in its third year, Dataminr’s AI for Good program connects non-governmental organizations and United Nations agencies with Dataminr AI scientists to turn compelling ideas with social impact into innovative AI solutions. Dataminr will collaborate with DEEP and Mnemonic on tailored AI projects that accelerate and optimize resources for more effective responses to humanitarian crises, and accountability for human rights violations:

DEEP, a multi-stakeholder consortium including the Danish Refugee Council and Data Friendly Space, will work with Dataminr to integrate user feedback into personalized tagging recommendations for DEEP’s free and open-source collaborative platform. DEEP was developed to facilitate knowledge-sharing across the sector, with more than 7,500 users in 90 countries leveraging the platform to quickly analyze reports – like situation reports and needs assessments – from the various entities involved in responding to a given humanitarian crisis. The results will generate a more complete picture of the operational context, informing more effective and efficient response efforts.

Mnemonic, an NGO dedicated to archiving, investigating, and memorializing digital information documenting human rights violations and international crimes, will partner with Dataminr to process Mnemonic’s digital archive of multimodal data and label content such as incidents of civilian harm, infrastructure damage, and hate speech. Mnemonic’s digital archive hosts millions of data points that are valuable for the prosecution of war crimes and other violations of international law. This collaboration will help human rights lawyers expedite and optimize how they identify evidence relevant to their investigations.

Over the next year, Dataminr AI researchers will work closely with the chosen partners to define the scope of each project, conduct research into each use case, and then develop cutting-edge AI tools that help program partners enhance and scale their impact to use limited resources more effectively.

“This year, we’re focused on force-multiplication through our AI for Good projects,” said Jessie End, vice president for Social Good at Dataminr. “We’ve selected two incredible initiatives with partners who have built digital tools that support not only their own work, but also the efforts of organizations across the human rights and humanitarian sectors. We couldn’t be more excited to see the positive social impact made from our 2024 AI for Good partnerships.”

“The need for rapid and effective humanitarian response has never been greater, especially as we navigate new global challenges like climate-driven displacement,” said Joel Myhre, DEEP coordinator. “Working with Dataminr, we have an incredible opportunity to use AI in a way that enhances DEEP to enable more effective responses and provide critical support.”

Hadi Al Khatib, managing director of Mnemonic, also noted the importance of leveraging AI to scale the impact of his organization’s work: “Critical digital evidence of human rights violations is at risk of being overlooked or unused due to the overwhelming volume of digital content,” said Al Khatib. “Dataminr’s AI for Good program will enable us to efficiently tag and categorize vast quantities of information, ensuring lawyers, journalists, and advocates can quickly access verified data to support their work towards greater justice and accountability.”

Impact of AI for Good Projects

Dataminr’s past AI for Good Partners have already achieved remarkable success. Insecurity Insight – focused on aid security, health education, and protection – worked with Dataminr to develop AI to automate the identification and classification of attacks targeting food systems. The solution has resulted in a 20-fold increase in the number of relevant events identified, now approximately 925 per week.

The United Nations Human Rights Office, which promotes and protects human rights across the globe, partnered with Dataminr on a scalable AI solution to identify and classify attacks on human rights defenders. The solution now identifies approximately 400 alleged attacks per day, a more than 100-fold increase in leads compared to their approach prior to implementing the AI.

Ushahidi, which leverages citizen-generated data for good governance, humanitarian relief, and human rights protection, partnered with Dataminr on AI to automate the categorization of crowdsourced data to more quickly and efficiently share information with impacted communities. Ushahidi can now process millions of crowdsourced data points within hours instead of weeks, allowing the organization to shift valuable limited resources from data management to insight generation and impact.

“Dataminr’s AI for Good Partners are doing vital work for important social causes around the globe, and we’re thrilled to bring our AI expertise to help further their missions,” said Joel Tetreault, vice president of AI Research at Dataminr. “By combining these projects with elements of Dataminr’s core AI capabilities — processing multimodal information and systematically refining AI models with feedback from domain experts — we can infuse speed and scale to drive exponentially greater impact on creating a world that is safer, more secure, and more just.”

~ Seasoned health IT executive and former ONC advisor to lead EBSCO Clinical Decisions as it advances its mission to bring trusted evidence to clinicians at the point of care.~

IPSWICH, Mass., Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EBSCO Clinical Decisions today announced the appointment of Paul Tuten as its Executive Vice President. In his role, Tuten will oversee all aspects of EBSCO Clinical Decisions, including strategy, content, product development, and growth. His priorities include advancing the organization’s point-of-care strategy and expanding partnerships that bring expert-vetted DynaMed® content directly into the workflows, platforms, and AI-enabled tools clinicians use every day.

“Paul’s strong and even-handed leadership is an incredible asset as we work to deliver intelligent, evidence-based tools that elevate care delivery,” said Roy Ziegelstein, MD, MACP, Editor-in-Chief and Chief Medical Officer of DynaMed. “His deep technical expertise and track record in academic publishing will help us take the next step in building and delivering trustworthy, evidence-based solutions for clinicians that integrate natively into their daily workflows, reducing friction and improving care when and where it matters most.”

Tuten joined the company in 2025 as Executive Vice President and Chief Platform Officer at EBSCO Information Services, focused on accelerating scalable growth of EBSCO’s advanced knowledge services. Prior to joining, he was Chief Product and Technology Officer at Taylor & Francis, where he led a global team in driving digital transformation and enhancing data governance, analytics, and platform-centric customer experiences in service to academic researchers. Tuten previously built and repositioned health IT organizations focused on clinical data exchange, patient safety, quality measurement, and revenue cycle management, including at Quantros (now part of RLDatix and Healthcare Bluebook), RxAnte, and ABILITY Network (now part of Inovalon). He holds a PhD in Information Systems from Nova Southeastern University.

“For too long, clinical decision support has worked like a paper map. Useful, but only if you pull over to review it and already know where you are. Clinicians need something closer to GPS, seamlessly integrated into the car and proactively guiding them in real time without having to take their eyes off the road,” said Tuten. “At EBSCO Clinical Decisions, our job is to get trusted clinical knowledge everywhere care is delivered. But like GPS, clinical decision support is only as good as the information behind it. With AI tools multiplying and published research outpacing peer review, it’s never mattered more that human experts decide what evidence informs it. I’m excited to help bring this vision to life and set a new standard for point-of-care delivery.”

Tuten has also advised the federal government on health information exchange and interoperability as a Senior Advisor to the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In that role, he supported the HITECH Act’s Meaningful Use program and served as a government liaison to EHR vendors on certification criteria.

College Board Launches AP Cybersecurity to Prepare Students to Protect the Digital World

New high school course builds foundational skills for college, careers, and service as states connect cybersecurity education to national security needs

NEW YORK, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cyber threats reach into everyday life, from scams that steal families’ savings to attacks on utilities and other essential services. Helping students understand and respond to those threats can open doors to further education, employment, and national defense service. College Board’s new AP Cybersecurity course, which was launched in high schools this fall, gives students a place to begin.

In 2025, U.S. employers posted more than half a million job listings requiring cybersecurity skills. Yet many students have little opportunity to learn about cybersecurity in high school or see where those skills could take them.

Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/college_board/9381153-en-college-board-launches-ap-cybersecurity

AP Cybersecurity introduces students to the work behind that demand: protecting the systems people depend on. Through practical scenarios, students assess security weaknesses, weigh risks, and investigate evidence of attacks. An assignment might ask them to evaluate threats to internet-connected farm equipment or recommend protections for computer networks aboard a naval submarine.

These assignments help students see how cybersecurity skills apply across industries and in national defense. Indiana offers an example of how those connections can take shape. The statewide Cybersecurity Partnership brings together high schools, colleges, employers, and the Indiana National Guard to help students explore routes into further education, employment, and military service.

The course and partnerships like Indiana’s address two connected needs: giving students an introduction to cybersecurity and helping them understand where continued learning could lead. For students, that connection gives classroom assignments a larger purpose. Investigating a security weakness today can be a first step toward learning how to protect a hospital, secure a business, or defend the country.

Interested in learning more? Talk to your school district or high school to see if they are offering AP Cybersecurity or visit collegeboard.org
