At the heart of this session is the official launch of an AI-enabled platform designed to help advance health policymaking by providing comprehensive tools for accessing, comparing, and ultimately generating evidence-based health policies.
As artificial intelligence (AI) and novel digital tools rapidly reshape the health landscape, their role in policymaking is becoming both promising and contentious. This session explores with a cross-sectoral panel of experts
Together, we will examine how to navigate these grey areas, ensuring that technology serves as instrument — not hinderance — in translating science-informed data into decisions for global health systems.
