UN Entity:

UNICC

SDGs:

SDG 09: Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure

Innovation Area:

Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
This new UNICC–NYU School of Professional Studies White Paper demonstrates how students and UNICC Product Managers collaborated to develop a multilingual AI prototype that detects misinformation and xenophobic narratives. Key insights: - A student-led team, guided by UNICC Product Managers, built an AI prototype capable of analysing text, audio, and video in six UN languages. - Ethical design wasn’t an add-on; it was built into every sprint, from bias mitigation to cultural sensitivity. - The project became a model for how academia and international organizations can jointly advance responsible AI and prepare the next generation of digital changemakers.

AI4Citizens: Use Case Description and Analysis

Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) for crowd monitoring can help law enforcement officers and related authorities identify threats to public safety more efficiently, support human operators in making quicker, more informed decisions, improve response times and reduce workload. Yet, AI-enhanced surveillance raises critical ethical, societal, and human rights considerations. The AI4citizens: Responsible AI for Citizen Safety in Future Smart Cities project, funded by the Research Council of Norway, brings together a multidisciplinary team to explore how an AI system for crowd monitoring and anomaly detection can be designed and deployed responsibly by anonymizing CCTV footage.
