Philadelphia, PA, September 21, 2026 —

At the recent Goalkeepers gathering held in New York, Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, emphasized the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to address global inequality.

Gates called for the “smart use of AI,” highlighting its capacity to be a tool in combating disparities worldwide. This advocacy comes as the foundation announced the formation of a new coalition aimed at enhancing the accessibility and fairness of AI technologies.

The newly established coalition brings together various participants, including AI laboratories and corporations. Its primary objective is to develop more representative language data for AI tools. The initiative seeks to ensure that AI technologies are more widely accessible and to actively combat potential biases that could arise from unrepresentative data sets.

The foundation stated that this effort is designed to ultimately benefit more than 3 billion people. By focusing on creating and utilizing more diverse and representative data, the coalition aims to mitigate the risk of AI systems perpetuating or exacerbating existing inequalities.

Further details regarding the specific AI labs and corporations involved in the coalition, as well as the precise timeline for implementation and the projected impact on specific populations, were not immediately provided.
