In a new Fortune commentary, Jeannie Annan, Chief Research and Innovation Officer at the International Rescue Committee (IRC), makes the case that humanitarian organizations should use AI with the right guardrails, transparently and with evidence to prove it. aprendIA is one of the examples she points to.
As of October 2026 – 6,500+ teachers in Northeast Nigeria use it. It is on track to reach nearly a million children by the end of 2026 and 6.9 million by 2028, at an estimated 20 cents per child.
“Responsible AI isn’t a slogan. It’s operational discipline. And because we work where the stakes are highest and the margin for error smallest, applications like ours could help set guardrails for the whole industry. We have stronger incentives than almost anyone to use AI carefully, and to show our work.”
