The Report is a joint effort between ITU and 40+ UN agencies and bodies, all partners of AI for Good and members of the UN Interagency Working Group on AI (IAWG-AI). This Report is not intended to produce an exhaustive inventory of the UN system’s work on AI. Rather, it is a tool to further collaboration and build common understanding around emerging AI technologies and solutions for the SDGs.
