AI for Good

About This Collection

  

AI for Good is a year-round digital platform where AI innovators and problem owners learn, build and connect to identify practical AI solutions to advance the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We have less than 10 years to solve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). AI holds great promise by capitalizing on the unprecedented quantities of data now being generated on sentiment behaviour, human health, commerce, communications, migration and more.

The goal of AI for Good is to identify practical applications of AI to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and scale those solutions for global impact. It’s the leading action-oriented, global & inclusive United Nations platform on AI.

AI for Good is organized by ITU in partnership with 40 UN Sister Agencies and co-convened with Switzerland.  Visit the site here and join the platform if interested.

While Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) offer significant wireless communication benefits, this webinar explores their potential downsides if uncontrolled. Issues could be accidental, like unintended interference from adjacent band enhancements, or intentional, such as malicious hijacking to degrade performance and create unusual phenomena.

Emil Björnson (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) will present these practical harms. Organized by the ITU Journal on Future and Evolving Technologies (ITU J-FET), a free international journal covering communications and networking research, this event is part of their webinar series. Discover ITU J-FET here and explore the full webinar series here.
