ITU Organizes Global Summit on Artificial Intelligence in Switzerland

The activities of the World Summit on Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the Common Good, organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in Geneva, Switzerland, continue with the participation of robots and experts in technical fields, which raised questions about the role of robots in this event.

And for the first time in the world, a panel of robots will answer journalists' questions at the AI for Good Global Summit.

For the first time in history, 5,000 people, eight social robots, and more than 20 specialized robots are expected to attend the summit, all under one roof.

The robots will display capabilities ranging from fighting fires and providing aid to providing healthcare and sustainable farming.

UN agencies are already using artificial intelligence, such as the World Food Program's "Hunger Map" project, which collects data to identify areas sliding towards hunger.

It also includes AI-inspired performances and artwork, with highlights this year including world premieres of AI drumming performances.
