Artificial Intelligence for Health

ITU, WHO, and WIPO are collaborating to drive responsible AI adoption in healthcare worldwide.

Driving responsible AI for Health

Launched at the AI for Good Global Summit in 2023, the Global Initiative on AI for Health (GI-AI4H) is a collaborative endeavour led by United Nations specialized agencies WHO, ITU, and WIPO, each bringing unique expertise and contributions to this initiative.

The GI-AI4H was and stands as a resilient, long-term institutional structure, grounded in its mission to enable, facilitate, and implement AI in healthcare.

It builds upon the work of the Focus Group on Artificial Intelligence for Health (FG-AI4H), a partnership of ITU and the WHO to establish a standardized assessment framework for the evaluation of AI-based methods for health, diagnosis, triage or treatment decisions.
