This Learning & Development Inspiration series webinar looked at the implications of AI for skills, people development and learning in the humanitarian sector.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has far-reaching implications for the nature of humanitarian crises and response, from the potential threats posed by new kinds of conflict and weaponry, to the opportunities offered by technologies which help predict disasters or gather data for more effective aid.

In this webinar, we considered at the implications for skills requirements in the sector, and how organisations can prepare their people for a future shaped by AI. We heard from experts from NetHope and Nesta as to the skills required by leadership to make effective decisions about use of AI in their organisations, and about the skills required at all levels of humanitarian organisations to effectively understand and embed AI tools. We also heard from learning design experts as to how they are using AI in the development of humanitarian training courses.

Thank you for joining the discussion about the future of the sector and its people.
