UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) and GSMA with global technology group e& presented results of their new AI-powered Social and Climate Platform — showcasing how artificial intelligence can generate real-time insights from non-conventional data to inform policy decisions and drive sustainable development in the Arab States and beyond.

UNDP boosts AI collaboration for sustainable development

Developed by UNDP and e& as part of the Digital for Sustainable Development initiative, a multi-stakeholder effort launched in 2023 to use digital technology to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, the new platform leverages natural language processing and sentiment analysis to monitor vital topics like climate, natural disasters, and public health in real-time. By analysing trillions of data points, the platform enables policymakers, researchers, and development practitioners to make informed, data-driven decisions that enhance resilience and sustainability.

"Responsible AI has the potential to drive sustainable development by providing real-time, data-informed insights that strengthen decision-making and resilience," said Robert Opp, UNDP's Chief Digital Officer.

"We welcome innovative solutions that align with UNDP's commitment to ensuring that AI benefits everyone, everywhere."
