How can humanitarian organisations bridge the gap between individual AI experimentation and organisational adoption?

In this second instalment of our six-part humanitarian AI podcast series, Ka Man Parkinson sits down with Michael Tjalve to explore how organisations can move from experimentation to the deployment of ethical, fit-for-purpose AI solutions - if an organisation decides that this is the right pathway for them.

Michael brings over two decades of expertise working at the intersection of technology, social impact and humanitarian action. As founder of Humanitarian AI Advisory, co-founder of the RootsAI Foundation, and former Chief AI Architect at Microsoft Philanthropies, and with roles in academia and the UN, he offers insider perspectives on these challenges.

In this deep dive conversation, Michael discusses implementation barriers, practical steps and possibilities, including:

• Why AI policy development should be every organisation's first step
• Looking beyond ChatGPT and large language models for contextualised humanitarian solutions
• Language barriers and broadening AI access
• Community Q&A
