Everything You Need to Know About The AI For Social Good Summit 2020

November is AI for Social Good Month. Join a series of investigative discussions, conversations and policy briefings with leading AI thinkers and doers from Asia and beyond.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) demonstrates immense potential in bringing about economic and social benefits by revolutionising areas such as communications, healthcare, public services, finance and education. however, the benefits of AI’s transformative potential are at risk of being offset by a list of challenges. These challenges includes job losses from AI, data privacy concerns, sociocultural biases in AI algorithms, and globally unequal capabilities to design and use AI-based technologies.

The AI for Social Good Summit

The Asia-Pacific community must work fast. All the society – public, private, and social sectors alike – must come together and co-create policy and governance measures for AI. Active participation is needed to ensure that AI is used effectively, for the good of our communities, and to further the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The AI for Social Good Summit is a regional gathering of experts and practitioners in artificial intelligence and governance. It aims to bridge the AI knowledge gap between academic and decision-makers in the Asia-Pacific region and to facilitate the creation of sensible AI policies.
