Webinar: Open Source (generative) AI for Public Services Innovation
0With the recent advances in AI, and in particular generative AI, there is a growing interest from the public sector to invest in AI to facilitate and improve public services. AI usages in the public sector span from simple redundant task automation, to more advanced chatbots to serve citizens and to decision support tools to improve public policies, investment and services. \n\nWith less than 10 years to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), AI holds great promise in supporting better country public services. ITU is actively contributing to raising awareness and providing education and training on the potential uses and risks of AI in public services to help countries build capacities and move forward. Under the patronage of its EU-funded Open Source Ecosystem Enablement (OSEE) project, this webinar will discuss the compelling requirements of trustable, auditable and equitable AI-based public services. \n\nThe invited panelists will discuss the impact of (open source) AI on SDG 4, SDG 8 and SDG 9. A particular focus will be set on the SDG 9 target 9.5 on the upgrading of technological capabilities of industrial sectors in all countries, and 9.b domestic technology development, research and innovation in developing countries. \n\nThe AI for Good Global Summit is the leading action-oriented United Nations platform promoting AI to advance health, climate, gender, inclusive prosperity, sustainable infrastructure, and other global development priorities. AI for Good is organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) – the UN specialized agency for information and communication technology – in partnership with 40 UN sister agencies and co-convened with the government of Switzerland.\n\nJoin the Neural Network!\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/neural-network/\nThe AI for Good networking community platform powered by AI. \nDesigned to help users build connections with innovators and experts, link innovative ideas with social impact opportunities, and bring the community together to advance the SDGs using AI.\n\n Watch the latest #AIforGood videos!\n\n\n Stay updated and join our weekly AI for Good newsletter:\nhttp://eepurl.com/gI2kJ5\n\nCheck out the latest AI for Good news:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/newsroom/\n\nExplore the AI for Good blog:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/ai-for-good-blog/\n\n Connect on our social media:\nWebsite: https://aiforgood.itu.int/\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/AIforGood\nLinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/26511907 \nLinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8567748 \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aiforgood \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AIforGood\n\nDisclaimer:\nThe views and opinions expressed are those of the panelists and do not reflect the official policy of the ITU.
