 Welcome to the AI for Good Global Summit. I'm now joined by Cosmos Zava Zava, who's director of the Telecommunication Development Bureau of the ITU. Good to have you. Thank you. So what would you like the outcome of the AI for Good Global Summit to be? At the AI Global Summit, we are building a foundation. We've brought together multi-stakeholders, private sector, United Nations agencies, academia, et cetera, to shape the way forward on the application of artificial intelligence. And for you, what are the specific benefits of AI? The specific benefits, I think the work that we do in the development sector is really to touch people's lives. And there are many applications that come with artificial intelligence. For example, in alleviating poverty, monitoring the environment, et cetera, and disaster risk reduction, monitoring and taking measures to effectively respond to the challenge that you manage faces. So there are many applications that are aligned also with the sustainable development goals. I mean, when we think about hunger, health, education, all these US sustainable development goals are also crucial, right? Absolutely. And delivery of health care is quite important because we just don't have enough specialists to go everywhere. And you can use just by looking at your mobile phone and be able to get assistance from a specialist. Talking specifically about how AI can help with disaster management, talk me through that. Well, you know, there are various phases in disaster management, beginning with early warning systems, response preparedness, et cetera. So it is important to be able to have access, for example, for early warning, injecting in the early warning signals, artificial intelligence, so that when you are sending signals, you target only those people who are in affected areas. So that's an effective way. You can also deliver assistance using robots. You can also have access to dangerous areas of disaster affected by the disaster. And by so doing, you will be sending the robots to do the job that humans would ordinarily do. And how do you see AI impacting society in the future? I think there is an ethical dimension to the applications of AI. Democracy and participation in elections are also quite key elements. For students, of course, plagiarism is a big threat that still needs to be addressed. So there are many, for everything that we do, of course, there is the good and the bad and the ugly. And AI comes also with those challenges. And I think the population is fearful of losing jobs. And so rescaling and scaling is quite important. It's not that the jobs will not be there, but they will just be of a different nature. And that brings me to the next question. With AI and related technologies, can that help us to bridge the digital divide? Absolutely. So the telecommunication networks are going to function in a robust, efficient way. And for the efficiency of the network to operate AI with this precision can help in the operation of the network, but also spectrum management. The effective we have limited spectrum and the allocated spectrum can be managed more effectively by AI, just like in the manufacturing area, just to add. Precision in terms of goods. Precision in the area of health care, in surgery. All those are the benefits that we can get from using artificial intelligence. And in terms of connectivity, we have to map using geographical information systems, which can be linked also to artificial intelligence to identify the gaps and be able for us to say, well, the demand is this, and we can bridge it in this way. And we need precision. And data is at the center of artificial intelligence. So we collect a lot of data, we validate the data, we report on the data, we develop methodologies for internationally respected data. So it is important for us to be able to use artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity, including, of course, as I said, on poverty alleviation through smart agriculture and precision agriculture. And also copying with pests and the other challenges that come with agriculture. And administering without human intervention really pesticides, herbicides, et cetera. Interesting. Fascinating. We could talk for a long time. Cosmos, Zava Zava, thank you so much for your time. Thank you. And we'll have much more from the AI for Good Global Summit coming up right here.
