Why this matters
The use of artificial intelligence by the UN Refugee Agency to support humanitarian action in displacement contexts highlights the potential for technology to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of relief efforts. By leveraging predictive analytics and machine learning, humanitarian teams can better anticipate and prepare for displacement trends, respond more quickly to emerging crises, and optimize the use of limited resources. The agency's innovation incubator and digital and data innovation funds are driving the development of practical solutions, such as predictive tools to manage pharmaceutical inventory in Tanzania and fuel management in Burundi. As the global displacement crisis continues to escalate, the responsible use of AI can help humanitarian organizations to stay ahead of the curve and provide more effective protection and assistance to those in need. The upcoming Global AI for Good Summit in Geneva will provide a platform for further exploration of the potential of AI to support humanitarian action.
