ITU’s AI for Good Global Summit to focus on advancing AI to drive sustainable development
The AI for Good Global Summit – organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) – will be held in Geneva on July 6-7 to demonstrate how new technologies can support the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in areas such as combatting the climate crisis and bolstering humanitarian response.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics innovators—and their high-tech creations—will join humanitarian leaders in the summit to drive sustainable development.
“It’s in our collective interest that we can shape AI faster than it is shaping us,” said ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin. “This summit, as the UN’s primary platform for AI, will bring to the table leading voices representing a diversity of interests to ensure that AI can be a powerful catalyst for progress in our race to rescue the SDGs.”
The AI for Good Global Summit will feature eight humanoid social robots and over 20 specialized robots, being brought together for the first time under the same roof. The robots will showcase capabilities ranging from fighting fires and delivering aid to providing healthcare and farming sustainably.
The event will also feature talks from thought leaders as well as demos of state-of-the-art AI solutions that could achieve global scale with the support of the international AI for Good community.
Two high-level roundtables – featuring government officials, industry executives, academics, and UN partners – will explore the policies, regulations, and standards needed for AI to advance sustainable development.
The event will also host the final round of the AI for Good Innovation Factory where start-ups from around the world will pitch their AI solutions to advance the SDGs.
This year’s summit combines the best of the physical and virtual worlds, with the potential to welcome over 2,500 participants in Geneva alongside online participation from the over 15,000 members of ITU’s fast-growing AI-powered community platform, the AI for Good Neural Network.
The event will emphasize networking to build new projects, calls to action, and partnerships. AI for Good’s dynamic show floor will also include AI-inspired performances and artwork.
The two-day AI for Good Global Summit at The International Conference Centre Geneva is preceded by machine learning workshops on July 5 led by experts from the AI of Good Discovery series.
