What does responsible AI look like for digital public goods in practice?

How the Community Health Toolkit (CHT) is adopting AI while staying compliant with the DPG Standard.

As digital public goods explore how AI could strengthen their impact, they face a critical question: How do you embrace AI’s potential without disempowering humans or creating new dependencies?

For the team behind Community Health Toolkit (CHT), this meant starting where impact actually happens - with frontline health workers. Facing heavy workloads, limited supervision and little decision support, frontline workers need tools that match their realities and keep them in full control. CHT’s “AI-ready” approach puts those needs at the centre of decisions—ensuring AI serves health workers and local developer teams, rather than replacing them. In our new case study, we dive into how CHT is putting this approach into practice while remaining compliant with the DPG Standard.
