AI for Good

The AI for Good Global Summit is a United Nations platform, centered around annual Global Summits, that fosters the dialogue on the beneficial use of Artificial Intelligence, by developing concrete projects. The impetus for organizing global summits that are action oriented, came from existing discourse in artificial intelligence (AI) research being dominated by research streams such as the Netflix Prize (improve the movie recommendation algorithm). [1] The AI for Good Global Summit series aims to bring forward Artificial Intelligence research topics that contribute towards more global problems,[2][3] in particular through the Sustainable Development Goals. The AI for Good Global Summit 2020 has been moved online. AI for Good is organised by the Standardization Sector of ITU (ITU-T).

One of the outcomes of the 2017 Global Summit was the creation of an ITU-T Focus Group on Machine Learning for 5G.

AI Repository

In order to further promote Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning research that advance the achieving of the Sustainable Development Goals, an AI Repository was created, which includes AI for Good projects and examples.[16][17]

Several similar terms have been used to describe related applications of AI to global issues. These include "AI for Earth", referring specifically to environmental applications;[18][19] "Humanitarian AI", referring to applications for humanitarian ends;[20][21] and "AI for Healthcare".[22]
