From affordable tutoring to supporting farmers with agricultural information, pilot programs built on generative AI are already having a positive impact on the lives and livelihoods of people across the Global South. But what can governments and development practitioners learn from these early pilots? Can AI help development programs scale and reduce cost, while maintaining effectiveness?

This panel, held during the UN's upcoming Summit of the Future and General Assembly in New York City, will explore how AI can advance the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and address global challenges. 

This event is co-hosted with Open AI.
