Renewing Commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals in an AI-Driven Future

Celebrating 10 Years

‍

Pledge 1% provides a simple, flexible framework for setting aside a percentage of staff time, product, profit, and/or equity for social impact that allows companies of all sizes and stages to have impact. LiquiDonate has committed a pledge of time, product, and equity [link to blog]. 

The events in New York City kicked off with a celebration of the Pledge1% movement. Since forming in 2014, Pledge 1% has ignited $2.4 billion of philanthropy in equity commitments alone across more than 18,000 companies in 130 countries.

Exploring the Impact of AI

‍

At the West Terrace, Delegates Dining Room at the United Nations, folks from Builders companies gathered to explore the different ways AI is transforming the future of social impact. With small group discussion, tech demos, and panelist chats, an emerging theme is the importance of making sure AI-empowered tech does not magnify biases and other injustices present in our society today. These sessions drove home how companies can better understand how to leverage AI to scale social good by focusing on small models that align with organizational goals.

Progress Toward the SDGs

‍

AI and the power to accelerate progress that has stalled - according to the 2024 report, most goals fall into “marginal progress” instead of “on track or target met”. However, LiquiDonate remains committed to advancing these goals through our platform.
