Track 3: Harnessing AI for Public Good: Balancing Innovation and Responsibility
Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds transformative potential for addressing global challenges ranging from climate change and public health to education and disaster response. This Track focuses on broad societal applications of AI for public benefit, such as examining how AI can be harnessed ethically and responsibly to improve the well-being of communities and promote equitable development. Contributions are invited that explore cross-sectoral applications of AI to advance societal goals, such as reducing inequality, improving governance systems, combating misinformation, and enhancing resilience against crises.
Papers may address frameworks for ensuring fairness, transparency, and accountability in AI design and use, emphasising public trust, ethical AI deployment, and regulatory frameworks to mitigate risks. The Track also encourages submissions that analyse the global implications of AI, including international cooperation, AI literacy, and strategies for reducing the digital divide to ensure that the benefits of AI are accessible to all. This Track aims to foster a holistic dialogue on how governments and organisations can harness AI’s potential to advance societal objectives while upholding ethical and human rights principles.
