As announced by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations specialised agency for information and communication technology (ICT), its annual AI for Good Global Summit has successfully generated thirty-five innovative project proposals leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI) for good. "Leveraging the power of ICTs, including artificial intelligence, is imperative if we are to improve the livelihoods of all people, everywhere, through achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals," said ITU Secretary-General Mr Houlin Zhao. "This year, we hope to spur action to ensure that artificial intelligence accelerates progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)," Mr Zhao said in his welcoming remarks. "Already, AI solutions are being developed to help increase crop yields, manage natural disasters, reduce road congestion, or diagnose heart, eye, and blood disorders." The summit gathered AI innovators with public and private-sector decision-makers, creating collaboration opportunities to execute the AI for Good project proposals in the near and medium terms.
