AI is being used to send some households impacted by Helene and Milton $1,000 cash relief payments


The nonprofit GiveDirectly is providing no-strings-attached, direct cash payments to households that receive SNAP benefits and were impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The payments are sent directly to the debit cards already use for SNAP, and households were chosen based on poverty data and data about the worst-hit areas.
