2020 AI for Good Global Summit to scale problem solving for global impact - ITREALMS

ITREALMS
With 10 years remain to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development ​Goals (SDGs) leaders in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and humanitarian action will convene at the 2020 AI for Good Global Summit with strong intent to ensure that 'AI for Good' solutions achieve a scale matching that of the ambitions captured by the SDGs, reports ITREALMS.

The AI for Good Global Summit is the leading United Nations platform for inclusive dialogue on AI. The summit identifies practical applications of AI to accelerate progress towards the SDGs and builds collaboration to assist these applications in achieving global impact.

The 2020 summit is co-organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) – the United Nations specialized agency for information and communication technologies (ICTs) – and the XPRIZE Foundation, in partnership with Switzerland, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and a wide variety of sister United Nations agencies.

The 2017 summit marked the beginning of a global dialogue on the potential of AI to act as a force for good. The action-oriented 2018 and 2019 summits gave rise to numerous 'AI for Good' projects including an 'AI for Health' Focus Group led by ITU and the World Health Organization, an ITU Focus Group on 'AI for Autonomous and Assisted Driving', and an open framework for collaboration in 'AI Commons'.


The pursuit of global impact will be the defining feature of the 2020 summit.

“Three editions of the AI for Good Global Summit have recognized the significance of the leap from AI promise to global impact,” said ITU Secretary-General Houlin Zhao. “We see renewed resolve within the AI for Good community to create the conditions necessary to make this leap and accelerate progress towards the achievement of the SDGs”...
