Abstract

This article examines the emerging role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the field of humanitarian aid and development, highlighting how these technologies are reshaping the paradigm of international cooperation. Through an analysis of case studies and current applications, we identify both the opportunities and challenges that AI presents to improve the effectiveness, efficiency and reach of aid and development programs. We conclude with policy recommendations to guide the responsible integration of AI in these critical areas.
