Zuckerburg nonprofit puts Al at heart of pledge to cure diseases

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, a nonprofit launched by Mark Zuckerberg and his wife aimed at curing all disease, announced it was restructuring to focus on using artificial intelligence to achieve that goal.

The move narrows the focus of the philanthropic organization founded in 2015 with a vow to devote most of the couple's significant wealth to charitable causes, including social justice and voter rights.

Zuckerberg is among the high-profile tech figures who has backed away from diversity, equality and fact-checking initiatives after US President Donald Trump took office in January.

The organization this year ended its diversity efforts, curbed support of nonprofits that provide housing and stopped funding a primary school that gave education and health care to underserved children, according to media reports.
