SessionAbstract

Artificial intelligence has been an increasingly important topic over the past several years. With the ability to improve efficiency, enhance analytics, and support decision-making, AI has wide-reaching potential in the humanitarian sector. AI can also be a powerful learning tool. For the learner, artificial intelligence can mean a more personalised learning experience that can provide real-time feedback. For learning providers, AI can help gather resources, synthesise text, design scenarios, translate materials, the possibilities seem endless. But does that mean that AI is a fundamentally good thing for learning in the humanitarian sector?

This panel seeks to unpack these issues by bringing together experts from the humanitarian learning space to share examples from recent experience of how learners and learning providers alike are making use of this new tool. The panel will also engage with the obvious drawbacks, unpacking ethical and environmental concerns, and possible ways that humanitarian capacity building needs to adapt to take advantage of this new technology.
