However, currently the future of AI in humanitarian aid is being overwhelmingly shaped by the voices of the Global North.1 The humanitarian principles of ‘do no harm’, neutrality and impartiality, set the standard and highlight the risk this imbalance of power in setting the agenda on AI creates. [...] Our aim is to support humanitarian practitioners from diverse contexts to look to the future potential of AI, to engage with the development of AI systems, and be responsive to emerging plans to govern them. [...] At the end of this journey each grantee will have developed a concept note which will contain a clear problem statement, an analysis of the associated opportunities and risks, reflections on the feasibility of existing solutions both AI and other, and which, with the support of mentors, outlines potential future AI solutions of relevance to their chosen problem field. [...] - Assessment of the problem definition as communicated and projection of the potential impact of the project on the humanitarian system. [...] The review will focus on evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the application against the criteria outlined in these Guidelines and a final shortlist will be confirmed.
