Data-Driven Decision-Making with AI | United Nations' Neil Sahota

What is data-driven decision-making? And how can we get better at it? Neil Sahota, AI Advisor to the UN, joins Ryan Chacon on the IoT For All Podcast to discuss data-driven decision-making with AI and IoT. They explore the role of AIoT in data-driven decision-making, why data-driven decision-making is important for businesses, challenges of adopting data-driven decision-making, and what we'll see from AI in 2023.

The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945. Currently made up of 193 member states, the UN and its work are guided by the purposes and principles contained in its founding charter. The UN has evolved over the years to keep pace with a rapidly changing world.
But one thing has stayed the same: it remains the one place on Earth where all the world’s nations can gather together, discuss common problems, and find shared solutions that benefit all of humanity.

AI for Good is a year-round digital platform of the United Nations where AI innovators and problem owners learn, discuss, and connect to identify practical AI solutions to advance the UN SDGs. AI for Good aims to bring forward artificial intelligence research topics that contribute towards solving global problems, in particular through the Sustainable Development Goals. AI for Good came out of the AI for Good Global Summit 2020 which had been moved online in 2020 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Since moving online, AI for Good developed into three main programme streams: Learn, Build, and Connect. AI for Good also helps organize ITU's Global Standards Symposium.
