Smart Technology, Fair Finance – The Promise and Risks of AI for Sustainable Development

As digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) reshape global economies, the need for responsible AI governance and inclusive standards has become urgent. Without their careful alignment with sustainable and equitable finance, digital innovations risk deepening divides or reinforcing inequities. Organized by ACM and taking place at the International Conference on Financing for Development, this session will explore how strategic investments in digital infrastructure, ethical AI deployment, and climate-smart technologies can drive more inclusive economic growth. It will also highlight the risks of digital exclusion and unintended harms when AI and digital systems are poorly governed.

The ACM "Smart Technology, Fair Finance" event will take place on 2 July 2025, 14:30 – 16:00 CET. To join the event click here.
