Resume:

1.- UN Global Pulse is an initiative that harnesses big data and AI for achieving SDGs, improving humanitarian action, and supporting peace.

2.- It operates a network of data science and AI labs in New York, Uganda, and Indonesia, with more planned.

3.- Global Pulse partners with companies worldwide to obtain anonymized big data through "data philanthropy", which has become a global movement.

4.- The initiative explores data's potential for real-time, predictive insights to help achieve SDGs, improve humanitarian work, and support peace efforts.

5.- Global Pulse builds software applications in Python for national governments and UN agencies to use in their work.

6.- It also focuses on developing policy frameworks to ensure safe, responsible use of data and AI.

7.- There are many opportunities, such as using mobile network data to understand population flows, migration, and disease outbreak risks.

8.- Demand and interest from government ministries and UN agencies to partner on AI and data projects is growing.

9.- The AI for Good Global Summit is a key multi-stakeholder platform for those deploying AI for good to collaborate.

10.- The summit has evolved into an action-oriented community of practice, with many partnerships forming.

11.- AI is a powerful tool that could enhance inequality if misused, so safeguards are crucial.

12.- Targeted advertising using AI has been a major driver of income inequality over the past decade.

13.- Like climate change, we need to course correct to get AI on track to achieve the future we want.

14.- There are valid concerns around privacy, data re-identification, and misuse that must be addressed.

15.- However, failing to use AI and data for public good is also an ethical issue, as they are mission-critical for SDGs.

16.- Need to balance risks of data misuse with risks of "missed use" by not leveraging data for good.

17.- Historically data used more for surveillance and profit than transforming public services, justice, education, healthcare, disaster response, etc.

18.- Regulatory frameworks must allow space for rapid innovation while still protecting privacy, addressing bias, and safeguarding rights.

19.- Data stewardship will likely dominate discussions in coming years at venues like the AI for Good Summit.

20.- In the digital world, data is the new raw material that policies, programs and business opportunities are built upon.

21.- If we get this right, data can enable a "socio-economic meteorology" to understand and predict risks in transformative ways.

22.- Many dystopian alternative futures exist if we don't figure out the responsible use of data and AI.

23.- The conversation around ethical data use needs to be ubiquitous as we navigate these critical issues.

24.- Global Pulse sees the AI for Good Summit as their most important UN event of the year.

25.- The summit attracts a curated audience focused on operationalizing AI and data for social good.
