Astra Tech, in collaboration with the Authority of Social Contribution – Ma’an, Abu Dhabi Government’s official channel to receive social contributions through a dedicated platform, announced the introduction of ‘CharityGPT’ on the Botim platform. This innovative feature is a regional first, employing GPT for good to enable Botim’s 9 million users to effortlessly support the “Together For Every Orphan” initiative, aimed at enriching the lives of orphans and children lacking family care.
Embracing the giving spirit of Ramadan, Botim’s ‘CharityGPT’ allows users to make impactful contributions through simple text commands. This initiative enhances Botim’s ongoing efforts to support community welfare, complementing Astra Tech’s collaboration with Emirates Red Crescent on various donation initiatives. These combined efforts underscore the company’s dedication to humanitarian initiatives, demonstrating the power of technology in enabling large-scale philanthropic activities.
Abdallah Abu-Sheikh, Founder of Astra Tech and CEO of Botim, commented. “We’re proud to collaborate with the Authority of Social Contribution – Ma’an to enable donations through our innovative CharityGPT feature, a testament to how technology can be harnessed for good, extending our philanthropic reach and impacting society positively. While fear of job loss due to AI is a common concern, today we are demonstrating how we can instead harness its power to facilitate charity and positively impact millions of people around the world.”
Since its inception in 2019, the Social Contribution Authority – Ma’an has been instrumental in uniting government, private sector, and civil society to drive social innovation, reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s position as a global hub.
His Excellency Faisal AlHmoudi, Social Investment Fund Executive Director, The Authority of Social Contribution – Ma’an, said, “Partnerships are at the heart of The Authority of Social Contribution – Ma’an and this initiative aligns with our ongoing commitment to address social priorities and make genuine social impact. Designed to amplify the development of an engaged and collaborative community within the UAE capital, The Authority of Social Contribution – Ma’an drives contributions to empower the community to deliver solutions and improve the lives of many.”
The introduction of ‘CharityGPT’, particularly during the month of Ramadan, is a significant step in the convergence of technology and philanthropy. It reflects the dedication of UAE-based tech organizations to community service and showcases the profound potential of AI in facilitating acts of kindness and generosity.
