    This forum is jointly organized by ITU, CAICT, and BIFNC. Guided by the goal of AI for Good to “identify practical applications of AI to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals” and the BRICS spirit of “openness, inclusiveness, cooperation, and win-win” this event will highlight key measures to support the capacity development activities in BRICS countries. 

     

    The forum will illustrate strategies to build AI capabilities in BRICS countries, with the aim to deliver on the United Nations (UN) SDGs. Specifically on SDG2 to “End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture”, SDG3 which aims to “Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”, SDG8 which aims to “Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all”, and SDG17 which aims to “Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development”. 

     

    Several outstanding AI experts from BRICS and “BRICS+” countries have been invited to give keynote speeches. These experts will cover topics related to AI+voice and spectrum recognition, AI+medical, AI+agriculture, and other AI related directions. Officials from ITU, CAICT, and BIFNC have been invited to deliver addresses. The forum is held through a combination of online and offline methods, and will offer live interaction on the AI for Good Neural Network.  

     

    This live event includes a 15-minute networking event hosted on the AI for Good Neural Network. This is your opportunity to ask questions, interact with the panelists and participants and build connections with the AI for Good community.
