Innovation Area:

Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

This report examines how artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to address some of the most pressing challenges facing humanity and the planet, including climate change, humanitarian crises, food insecurity and gaps in access to health and education. Drawing on nearly a decade of work under the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)–led AI for Good platform, the report focuses on three AI domains that have demonstrated particular relevance for the public good: robotics, geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) and AI for communications networks.
