Our March 11 Technology Salon in New York City welcomed managers and directors from some 25 organizations for a discussion (therapy session?!) on how to manage the pain points of Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption at development, humanitarian, and other non-profit organizations.
Kick-starting the discussion were Friederike Schüür, UNICEF’s Chief of Data Strategy and Data Governance; Ronen Rapoport, Business Relationship Manager & AI Taskforce co-lead; Conor Flavin, Senior Data Policy Officer at UNHCR; Mala Kumar, Former Director of Tech for Social Good, GitHub; and Brent Phillips, Humanitarian AI Today. Salon participants joined in actively and vocally as well! We were graciously hosted by the Rockefeller Foundation.
