It’s our penultimate day at the NetHope Global Summit in Washington DC! We’ve been listening to Liz Chamberlain, Acting Co-Executive Director of Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team about how they work within the #humanitarian and development ecosystem. Interesting to hear about how they build accessible technology that makes mapping accessible and user-friendly for individuals and communities that may have limited resources.

It’s Day 2 of the NetHope Global Summit! Today, we’ve been hearing from the International Rescue Committee’s Madeleine “Em” Fackler and Box’s Leah Perry for a Fireside chat to discuss #AI and technology innovation, and the timely and pressing opportunities and challenges they pose to #humanitarian agencies. Here at UKHIH, we're looking to engage in critical discussions about how humanitarians can harness AI's potential, while mitigating challenges and risks.
