Connectivity Cast Ep #2: How AI Can Be Used for Social Good

This episode 2 of Connectivity Cast, the new UNICEF Digital Impact podcast, explores ideas around how artificial intelligence can be used for social good in science, technology, and education. It features Pascal Van Hentenryck, Professor and Director of the AI Hub at the Georgia Institute of Technology, also known as Georgia Tech.

This conversation with the show’s host, Ivan Dotu Rodríguez, Giga’s Applied Science Lead, was recorded ahead of our inaugural “Giga Talks” event at the Giga Tech Centre in Barcelona, a space for exploring how technology supports development projects. Pascal joined the Giga team in Barcelona to present his insights on how AI can advance areas such as education, healthcare, mobility, research, and beyond.
