Step confidently into the world of AI

At a time when humanitarian organizations are balancing the impossible equation of having to do more with less, Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a means to help improve process efficiency and scale the impact of humanitarian efforts.

However, although AI can be an incredible force for good, it can also lead to unexpected and detrimental outcomes when deployed into an existing process or ecosystem.

In much of today's debate around the use of AI in humanitarian action, there's understandably both excitement and concerns but many humanitarian organizations, social impact initiatives, and their stakeholders lack a clear path for how to get started with AI and how to integrate it responsibly.

This is why we created Humanitarian AI Advisory. We’re here to help you on your AI journey.

Humanitarian partnership launches “SAFE AI” project to establish responsible AI framework for humanitarian action

CDAC Network, The Alan Turing Institute, and Humanitarian AI Advisory launch a groundbreaking SAFE AI initiative amid growing concerns over unregulated AI use in humanitarian response.

AI has the ability to accelerate safe innovation and change humanitarian action for the better. Yet, there is a real risk of an underfunded, overstretched humanitarian sector accelerating towards unsafe use of AI to reduce costs with serious unintended consequences for vulnerable populations.  

In response to this rapidly evolving landscape, CDAC Network has partnered with The Alan Turing Institute and Humanitarian AI Advisory to launch the SAFE AI project: Standards and Assurance Framework for Ethical Artificial Intelligence. This timely initiative, funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), will develop a foundational framework for enabling responsible AI in humanitarian action.
