Artificial Intelligence for Development (AI4D 2026 - 2nd edition)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has consolidated itself as a key technology for addressing complex challenges related to sustainable development, social inclusion, and the improvement of public services. In this context, the Artificial Intelligence for Development (AI4D) approach promotes the use of advanced AI techniques to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially in environments with limited data, resources, or infrastructure.
The Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Development (AI4D 2026 - 2nd edition) aims to bring together researchers and professionals interested in the design, development, and evaluation of AI-based solutions oriented towards sustainable development. The workshop seeks to foster the exchange of experiences, methodologies, and results in the use of AI as a tool to support decision-making, public policy design, and the improvement of social well-being.
