Is there a possibility that artificial intelligence could be the key to solving the world’s problems? An enormous appeal for artificial intelligence-focused projects is being launched by the Paris Peace Forum as part of the AI Action Summit, which is scheduled to take place in Paris on February 10–11, 2025.
Significant changes brought about by the AI revolution could split us in previously unheard-of ways as they affect our employment, societies, and daily lives. To make sure that everyone benefits from emerging technologies, the Call for AI Projects seeks to encourage international projects that enhance citizens’ lives and properly frame AI.
A global forum for exchanging inclusive solutions will be provided by the presentations of selected projects at the AI Action Summit, with an emphasis on involving the global South and civil society. This latest Call is a component of the Paris Peace Forum’s continuous efforts to develop novel approaches to global governance (more than 500 proposals have been chosen and presented since 2018).
