Google.org awarded a $1 million grant to Karya, a non-profit organization focused on connecting low-income communities with AI-driven learning and earning opportunities.
The grant will help Karya develop a digital skilling pathway and a multilingual AI chatbot to assist workers with digital tasks.
Karya aims to empower individuals with limited digital literacy to perform tasks like annotating data using smartphones.
The initiative is part of Google's efforts to build an AI-ready workforce, with a focus on India and global expansion.
