KAIST's Global Center for Development and Strategy (G-CODEs, Director Kyung Ryul Park) announced that it successfully hosted the "AI for Global Development Forum: Innovation & Inclusion" on Wednesday, December 10, at the Jeongdong 1928 Art Center Event Hall in Seoul, with the support of the Korea Association of International Development and Cooperation (KAIDEC).

This forum was organized to integrate fragmented discussions on AI development and explore sustainable global governance and cooperative structures, recognizing AI as a key driver that is redefining international development cooperation beyond mere technological innovation. 

Experts from major domestic and international institutions, including KAIST, the World Health Organization (WHO), World Bank, Asian Development Bank (ADB), United Nations University (UNU), Google, and Nature, participated to discuss inclusive strategies for utilizing AI technology.

The event featured four sessions involving in-depth presentations and discussions focused on: ▲AI in a Contested World: Bridging Theory and Practice, ▲Managing Disaster and Climate Risk in Fragile Contexts, ▲Cross-Sector Innovation and Governance, and ▲AI for Planetary Health. Notably, practical and concrete solutions were presented, such as the Geo-Enabled Monitoring and Supervision (GEMS) initiative for supporting fragile states, KAIST's MetaEarth technology for climate crisis response, and AI governance models facilitating public-private-academic cooperation.

During the comprehensive discussion, participants reached a consensus that for AI to serve as a tool for reducing socio-economic gaps in developing countries, institutional capacity building and multilateral cooperation are essential alongside technological approaches. 

Furthermore, they agreed that shared cooperative models, such as the 'Multinational Advanced AI Development Infrastructure,' will be key to unlocking an inclusive global AI future.
