In this talk, The Good AI Lab and Doctors Without Borders share how they are building a long-term collaboration where AI is taught and developed openly, accountably, and in service of humanitarian work. They will outline how AI enablement, strategy, and applied research projects can fit into a single roadmap, and what they have learned so far about making AI useful in high-stakes, low-resource settings without losing sight of dignity, context, and constraints.
