Beyond the algorithm: Strategic AI for crisis response and food security

How can artificial intelligence help build a hunger-free future? This panel introduces the Strategic AI Partnership for Humanitarian Actions, bringing together the World Food Programme (WFP), CERN, LIST and the Government of Luxembourg. The partnership is developing practical AI solutions for some of the world’s most pressing humanitarian challenges, combining scientific expertise, operational insight and a commitment to responsible innovation.

Panelists will present initial results from tools tested on real-world operational data and case studies, including crop yield forecasting, damage assessment and anomaly detection in aid delivery. The session offers a behind-the-scenes look at how cross-sector collaboration is turning advanced research into actionable solutions that can improve outcomes for communities affected by conflict, climate shocks and food insecurity.
