AIxMultilateralism: Philanthropy's Role in Inclusive, Ethical AI

About this episode

The episode explores the role of philanthropy in the development and governance of AI with experts from the University of Geneva.

This is AI x Multilateralism, a playlist of conversations at the UN Library & Archives Geneva where we’re joined by experts who help us unpack the many ideas and issues at the nexus of AI and international cooperation. Should philanthropy be a part of the development and governance of AI? We’re exploring this question with Hubert Halopé and Giuseppe Ugazio, both part of the team at the Artificial Intelligence & Philanthropy Project at the University of Geneva. They explore:- Why studying the links between AI and philanthropy matter. - The findings in the project's open source book, The Routledge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence and Philanthropy, including how AI can be used within philanthropy itself, and how philanthropy can impact the inclusive and responsible development and use of AI. - Why philanthropic organisations should play a key role in AI governance and in the ethical use of AI, and - How philanthropy can be present in multilateral AI governance mechanisms at the UN.
