    As healthcare systems face increasing demands, limited resources, and inequities in access to healthcare, AI could potentially improve emergency response, resource allocation, and access to healthcare. However, the rapid integration of AI into health ecosystems demands effective frameworks for interoperability, ethical governance, and scalable deployment.

    This session, hosted by the Global Initiative on AI for Health founding UN agencies (ITU, WHO, WIPO) aims to promote AI4H-related standardized guidelines, catalyze cross-sector collaboration, and encourage broader participation from the global health and AI communities.

    Tailored for policymakers, technologists, health practitioners, and humanitarian leaders, the session  consists of three themes, respectively global landscape on AI for health, frontline use cases and intellectual property and AI for health.

     

    Objectives:

    • Promote responsible use of AI and its potential in transforming public health sector
    • Raise awareness of the ongoing inter-UN agency AI for health efforts
    • Facilitate critical discussion and debate between research, innovation and intellectual property

     

    Workshop highlights:

    • Overview of GI – AI4H, including enabling standards, policies, and guidance in the application of AI for health, explain how the facilitating and implementing work has been carried out and the practical impact of these initiatives in the health industry.
    • Real-world AI-enabled solutions for global health challenges, such as large language models for conflict-zone triage, AI-driven diagnostics for NCDs, IP commercialization pathways for health technologies, etc.
    • Intersection of artificial intelligence and IP law, discussing the evolving legal landscape, ethical considerations, and strategies for managing intellectual property in the age of AI.

     

    Workshop expected outcomes:

    • Increased visibility of GI – AI4H’s works in addressing multidisciplinary health challenges.
    • Inspired and informed stakeholders to advocate for responsible use of AI in health.
    • Successful introduction of technical standards, governance strategies, IP commercialization pathways, localized implementation and scaled AI health solutions for shaping the AI for health landscape to the AI and health ecosystem.
