The UK Humanitarian Innovation Hub (UKHIH), Elrha, and Humanitarian AI Today have brought together a panel to discuss the subject of humanitarian principles with an emphasis on discussing the principles in connection with uses of artificial intelligence in humanitarian action.

Panelists share key takeaways on humanitarian principles from their work, discussing lessons learned and risks associated with neglecting core humanitarian principles in AI use in the face of explosive advances in AI and whole landscape changes in human-machine interaction that we’re seeing today, and then explore how to align AI initiatives with humanitarian values.
