Palindrome Data Seeks To Use Alternative Data Services For Community Development. Palindrome Data is a Data Science implementer specialising in machine learning, predictive analytics and alternative data services for the community development. The company’s cross-discipline team has over 10 years’ experience developing and scaling Technology for Development (ICT4D) and Private Sector Data and Analytics Services.
The company’s team has executed over 50 digital health projects across 11 developing countries and have worked with implementing and funding partners across the USAID, DFID and private philanthropy sectors. Palindrome amplifies development services using contemporary AI & ML techniques previously only accessible to large, high-tech companies. It aims to leverage these gains from the private sector to disproportionately impact development.
Palindrome Data believes in the value and predictive power of data and analytics; it’s at the center of everything it does. The company takes its responsibility to both the data owners and those impacted by its insights very seriously. Its responsibility goes beyond privacy, security and regulatory compliance, and includes values and principles to which it is firmly committed. These principles include the importance of fairness, egalitarianism, consumer-protection, and only tackling problems it believes are ethical and good for society.
These are lofty goals, and Palindrome aims to reach them by only working with those who share its values, and are committed to using data and analytics for good. The company is acutely aware that advanced analytics and big data will introduce biases with potentially large adverse effects. The company works tirelessly to recognize and counter these biases in order to reach a representation of reality that is true, fair, and empowering to consumers and organisations alike.
