An AI of Our Own

June 2025 – AAOO selected for Open Data Editor Global Cohort

In June 2025, AAOO was selected as one of 5 projects as the 2nd cohort piloting the launch of
Open Knowledge’s Open Data Editor (ODE), in particular focusing on the new addition of “a
responsible, offline AI feature designed to support users in spotting anomalies, patterns, and
inconsistencies — all while respecting privacy, transparency, and human oversight.” (Source)

AAOO will connect the work with ODE to the ongoing pilot prototypes in South Africa and
Cambodia around gathering clean, community sourced datasets (see more on our Projects
page).
