Suzy Madigan on AI, Aid Reform and UN General Assembly Discussions

Voices is a new series of bite-sized interviews produced by Humanitarian AI Today. Every day we pass the mic to a new voice from the humanitarian AI community to hear about new projects, research and advancements shaping our field. In this pilot episode of Voices, Suzy Madigan speaks with the podcast's producer about her new work supporting the CDAC Network (Communicating with Disaster-Affected Communities). Against the backdrop of the UN General Assembly, they also discuss how aid cuts and competition for funds are driving aid agencies to seek out AI ‘efficiencies’, creating new risks for humanitarian organizations and communities unless effective safeguards are put in place.
