Global Data Science Institute (GDSI) is an interdisciplinary research and education organization advancing data science through research, innovation, and open knowledge. Its work spans artificial intelligence, digital health, data science for development, natural language technologies, and distributed systems. GDSI explores applications including machine learning, AI agents, electronic health records, disease surveillance, health-data interoperability, privacy-preserving computing, and technology for low-resource languages. Its projects translate research into practical tools, such as Tafsiri language technology for Kenyan languages, the Medina EHR healthcare information platform, and EvolvED, a learning platform for courses and educational programs.

GDSI also shares research through publications, datasets, research software, books, and open educational resources for students, educators, researchers, and practitioners. Its open knowledge library includes resources on algorithms, artificial intelligence, and deep learning. The institute connects researchers, communities, healthcare organizations, academic institutions, and technology collaborators, aiming to make knowledge accessible and support solutions to real-world challenges. Its approach moves from discovery and building to sharing and collaboration, with a focus on global impact and a more equitable future.
