from the UN Behavioural Science Group:
AI adoption is accelerating across governments, development agencies, and global organisations, but real progress depends on human behaviour.
This session will explore how behavioural science can shape the design, evaluation, and adoption of AI in real-world settings, and how AI is reshaping the tools and methods of behavioural science itself.
It will feature a keynote by Ronnie Chatterji, Chief Economist at OpenAI, and a panel with the Agency Fund, Digital Green, Stanford University and the World Bank. We will discuss lessons from global implementation efforts, how AI interventions are being evaluated, the role of experimentation and simulations, and emerging evidence from across sectors.
This event is supported by the UN Innovation Network. If you would like to stay connected about future sessions and ways to engage across behavioural science & AI, sign up here.
