Giulio Coppi, Senior Humanitarian Officer at Access Now, an organization that fights for human rights in the digital age, speaks with Humanitarian AI Today guest host Brent Phillips. They discuss protecting digital rights in situations of conflict and violence and critically examine ethical dilemmas facing the humanitarian community surrounding the collection and use of data and applications of AI.

Giulio and Brent discuss data sharing, information integrity, the role of private tech in humanitarian response, public-private sector engagement, corporate commitment to human rights and the involvement of AI companies in building surveillance and defense verticals during a time when human and digital rights are being dangerously undermined and attacked by state and non-state actors.
