Artificial Intelligence Principles for Vulnerable Populations in Humanitarian Contexts - World

There are many recent examples of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems being used for vulnerable people in humanitarian and disaster response contexts, with serious ethical and security-related implications. In particular, vulnerable populations are put at further risk through biases inherently built into AI systems. There are security concerns regarding their personal information being exposed and even used for persecution purposes.

Now, as AI adoption grows rapidly, this report aims to develop AI principles and recommendations that would be specific to vulnerable people in the humanitarian field.
