Background

This session presents a series of cases and stories where AI has been deployed to aid in development actions. AI-based interventions could automate time-consuming tasks; aid in data collection and management; enhance user capacities and capabilities, and ensure humanitarian specialists focus on complex analysis and decision-making. Yet, understanding how exactly AI can positively impact development fieldwork remains a work in progress; and this lack of actionable knowledge about impact, potential, and infrastructure needed for a long-term strategy may slow the adoption of the technology for such causes.

With on-the-ground stories of our guest NGOs, we will specifically explore why gender data matters, how AI can help address environmental issues, and how AI can improve healthcare quality in the context of the global south. Finally, our colleague from UNESCO will present general recommendations from recently released soft-law mechanisms on AI.
