This panel discussion will bring together humanitarian practitioners from different organisations who will share their personal and organizational experiences of their learning journey with utilizing AI tools. They will delve into the fundamental questions surrounding AI in the humanitarian sector, exploring the motivations, methodologies, and limitations associated with its implementation. The discussions will in particular be based on case studies explored by the panelists on their day-to-day work.

AI is often presented as a solution to every humanitarian problem and the session aims to critically examine the extent to which AI has the potential to address humanitarian challenges, questioning whether its implementation can (or should!) be pursued systematically as a kind of universal solution. Panelists will discuss the potential risks, both overt and subtle, that arise from employing AI in humanitarian contexts.
