AI & Global Development Lab
The Planetary Causal Inference research agenda is driven in part by those at the AI & Global Development Lab. See aidevlab.org for more information.
The AI & Global Development Lab fuses cutting-edge AI with Earth Observation to illuminate the causes and consequences of human development across time and space.
Our interdisciplinary team—including data scientists, computer scientists, and social scientists—develops new methods to tackle pressing global issues such as poverty, sustainability, and aid effectiveness.
By analyzing satellite imagery from 1984 to the present, we are reconstructing historical and geographical development trajectories at a level of detail never before possible—offering new insights into the changing face of poverty worldwide.
