The Global Governance Institute (GGI), in collaboration with leading professionals, international scholars, and researchers from around the world, invites you to participate in an intensive training programme on "AI for Global Sustainable Development". This 5-day programme is designed to equip individuals and organisations with the knowledge, skills, and practical insights necessary to tackle the complex challenges and take advantage of the opportunities by the integration of AI in global development.
Through expert-led sessions, on-site institutional visits, and conversations with industry leaders, participants will explore critical topics such as governance, trade, the future of work and education, sustainable development, human rights, and regional perspectives on AI for sustainable development.
The "AI for Global Sustainable Development" programme aims to address the multifaceted challenges and opportunities presented by the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into global development efforts. The programme is both important and timely due to the accelerating pace of AI development and its profound implications for global governance, global economy, and societal well-being.
As AI technologies continue to evolve, they offer unprecedented opportunities to address complex global challenges. However, without thoughtful consideration and strategic implementation, there is a risk of exacerbating existing inequalities and creating new ethical dilemmas.
The timing of this programme aligns with a critical juncture in global development, where the adoption of AI is poised to influence the trajectory of economic and social progress. It provides a platform for exploring how AI can be a force for good, driving sustainable and inclusive growth, and ensuring a just transition in the era of digital transformation.
