Why does it matter?
Informational interventions are effective
There is scientific evidence that providing relevant information at the right time can make a significant difference in the way people live. For instance:
AI makes personalized guidance possible at scale
Artificial Intelligence, empowered by the emergence of large language models like GPT, has opened up new possibilities for delivering personalized and dynamic information on a massive scale. This transformative technology has the potential to reshape the way individuals make decisions in areas such as education, housing, and access to government services, offering more customized and responsive solutions.
Centralized Systems and Data Offer an Opportunity
Government benefits selection processes are increasingly digitized and centralized. The resulting centralized data has expanded the possibilities and lowered the cost of supporting families in the decision-making process with personalized information.
