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, including examining how AI can be harnessed ethically and responsibly to improve community well-being 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.

Particular attention is given to AI governance, ethical frameworks, and data governance approaches that ensure responsible deployment in public sector contexts. Papers may address frameworks for ensuring fairness, transparency, and accountability in AI design and use, emphasizing public trust, ethical AI deployment, and regulatory frameworks to mitigate risks. Submissions presenting real-world applications, case studies, and measurable impacts of AI-enabled public services are especially encouraged.

Track also encourages submissions that analyze the global implications of AI, including international cooperation, AI literacy, and strategies to reduce the digital divide, ensuring that the benefits of AI are accessible to all. This Track aims to foster a holistic dialogue on how governments and organizations can harness AI’s potential to advance societal objectives while upholding ethical and human rights principles.
