What happens when the worlds of policy, product development, and pragmatic decision-making collide in the race to create responsible AI? In this episode of Humanitarian Frontiers in AI, we are joined by a panel of experts, Sabrina Shih, Hadassah Drukarch, Gayatri Jayal, and Jigyasa Grover, for an in-depth discussion of responsible AI development in humanitarian contexts. Together, they unpack the realities of applying AI technologies in crisis-affected settings and grapple with issues around trust, speed, cultural adaptation, and ethical responsibility. They unpack how “human-in-the-loop” models must adapt depending on the context, how affected populations should be involved in AI design, and how to navigate scaling technologies quickly versus building them responsibly. They also explore the challenges of building context-specific tools, the evolving definitions of responsible AI, and how humanitarian organizations can stay rooted in people and processes, not just technology. Join us to discover insights into the crucial role of people and AI design in reshaping humanitarian work.
