AI Is Creating a New Breed of 10x Changemakers
Impact, education, and beyond
AI enables changemakers to move fast and fix things. It frees up their time from operational hassles so they can 100% focus on their mission. For instance — GrantOrb, an AI grant writer that writes grants in minutes, helps unlock funding without having to spend 30+ hours on grant writing. And one doesn’t need to be proficient in grant writing or English — democratizing access to funds.
With tools like GrantOrb, changemakers can reclaim their time to focus on real work.

We’re entering an era of 10x changemakers. AI gives people on a mission superpowers to do more and accelerate impact by 100x. Something we’ve never seen before.
AI + impact
As I’m going deep into the AI space building GrantOrb, I’m learning a lot about this fascinating new technology — large language models (LLMs). I see big potential in how LLMs (commonly referred to as generative AI) can be applied to solve huge societal problems. AI is going to be revolutionary for people at the base of the pyramid. Access to healthcare, education, agricultural knowledge and expertise will get radically accelerated with AI available on phones and designed for them. AI can help fix cancer, climate, discover new materials and medicines — the potential is massive. We just need changemakers to start applying AI in everything they do.
I recently gave a talk to TechSoup nonprofits on how changemakers can leverage AI to accelerate impact. A great watch if you’d like to understand generative AI and its implications for the social impact space.
AI + education
Salman Khan, founder of Khan Academy, published a new book on how AI changes education. In short — AI gives every child a personal tutor and every teacher a personal assistant. All one needs is access to this transformative technology.
On that note, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, recently shared on a podcast the concept of Universal Basic Compute — similar to Universal Basic Income — meaning every person should get access to super intelligence.
