Description
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the future and a must to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). AI applications, with their ability to acquire information, analyze, and take prompt decisions, will accelerate the achievement of SDGs, on a country's national level.
UN-ESCWA, through its technical cooperation program, is committed to provide technical assistance to its member states through drafting guidelines for policymakers to make use of when developing national policies and strategies harnessing AI in a safe and productive way, and also for taking legislative, regulatory and innovative measures in various fields, such as education, employment, empowerment of women and youth, institution-building, infrastructure and governance.
Upon the request of Ministry of State of Investment and Technology (MoInT) in Lebanon for UN-ESCWA assistance in developing a national Artificial Intelligence strategy, a consultative meeting among national stakeholders will be convened to discuss the current assessment of the national context of AI and gather information to draft AI strategy.
