AI could help scale humanitarian responses. But it could also have big downsides

IRC has invested in Signpost , a portfolio of apps and social media channels that answer questions in different languages for people in dangerous situations.

IRC is building a network of AI chatbots that can increase the capacity of their humanitarian officers and local organizations that directly serve people through Signpost .

The most important potential downside of these tools would be that they don't work.

Degan Ali , CEO of Adeso , a nonprofit in Somalia and Kenya , has long been an advocate for changing the power dynamics in international development to give more money and control to local organizations.

Ali also warned that few local organizations have the capacity to attend big humanitarian conferences where the ethics of AI are debated.
