AI for good global summit 2020

Our amazing students & Staff Members,

We hosted an interactive talk by the pride of our alumni, Eng. Ahmed Rashad Riad (Architecture Engineering Graduate Class of 2006), the Business Development Manager, Strategic Engagement Division, TSB, ITU to provide the students a global perspective about the overlap between artificial intelligence and sustainable development.

Ahmed works at the United Nations specialized agency for ICTs (ITU) HQ based in Geneva since 2014. He works mainly on the Artificial Intelligence for Good Global Summit in the areas of business development and programme coordination.

The talk covered some interesting AI applications, use cases, and an overview about the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Also we did explore the overlap between AI and entrepreneurship opportunities, and how can start-ups scale by leveraging the potential AI applications to solve the global challenges.

In summary the workshop was focusing on the overlap between the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs), Artificial Intelligence and entrepreneurship.

It is an “AI and entrepreneurship for good” in a box!
