Thank you to Sphere Standards today who sparked curiosity about how to critically reflect on #AI as it applies to the humanitarian sector through its expert panel and RedR UK facilitated workshop. Developing AI literacy across core competencies of digital planning and design, data use and governance, and digital management and delivery is a starting point, one that is grounded in humanitarian principles. #AIforGood #HumanCenteredAI #EthicalTech

Tomorrow, RedR UK is co-organising a panel and workshop session on ‘AI for Humanitarians’ as part of Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Weeks. 🧑💻   In a recent survey of humanitarian organisations by Sphere Standards, 64.4% of responders said the most beneficial support to help them make good decisions about AI would be training.   Our CEO, Bernadette Sexton, will be sharing her expertise in the panel on ‘Humanitarian AI Literacy, Fluency and Readiness’, taking place during the first part of the session - available in-person and online.   Then, in the second half, our Learning and Development Manager Victoria Webbe will be facilitating the in-person workshop on ‘AI Literacy for Humanitarians.’   📅 Wednesday 26th March, 8-9.30am GMT   Register for the online event via Zoom: https://lnkd.in/efw8ScnK   Attending #HNPW in person?

📝 Our Senior Technical Programmes Coordinator Noorullah Kuchai recently co-authored a research paper for Sustainability MDPI on 'Adapting Housing Design Tools for Indoor Thermal Comfort to Changing Climates.'   Current housing design tools for low-resource areas rely on outdated climate data and adaptation strategies. This means many homes and shelters for crisis-affected populations are vulnerable to increasingly extreme weather conditions caused by climate change.   🏘️ By incorporating future climate adaptability into housing design, we can ensure that shelters remain safe, comfortable, and sustainable in the long term. This will ultimately improve the wellbeing and resilience of crisis-affected populations.   Learn more by reading the paper: https://lnkd.in/eHkAQzCv   Find out about RedR's work in climate change adaptation: https://lnkd.in/e9fBidww   Co-authored by: Anna Conzatti (University of Exeter), Carolina Pereira Marghidan (Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre), and Eefje Hendriks🟥 (University of Twente).
