The Norwegian technology company myOnvent has developed the AI for Good Neural Network, a key element of the world\u2019s largest Artificial Intelligence event.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AI for Good<\/a> initiative aims to create increased discussions on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used to accelerate the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The project is hosted by the International Telecommunications Union, one of the UN agencies, and will last all for the whole of 2022. Throughout the year, 70,000 people are expected to gather on the Neural Network, developed on the myOnvent event platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

myOnvent founder and CEO Bj\u00f8rn Christian N\u00f8rbech is proud to be working with such a massive project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have been guided by the UN SDGs when building our company and our platform. We are committed to making the world a better place. This is a dream client for us,\u201d said N\u00f8rbech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

70,000 on the Neural Network<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The AI for Good initiative was created in 2007 by the ITU and the 40 other UN sister organizations as partners. When the ITU approached myOnvent in the spring of 2020, they were looking for a partner capable of building a global network to bolster the impact of the project, and the AI for Good team and the startup from Norway quickly hit it off. myOnvent was brought in as an Official Technology Partner to develop the AI for Good Neural Network<\/a> – a network in which participants from all over the world can come together, experience lectures, seminar, talks, and connect 24\/7\/365. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe quickly realized that we\u2019d hit the nail on the head when we first demoed the myOnvent platform for the AI for Good team. Still, our developer team has done an amazing job customizing the platform to where it is today\u201d said Bj\u00f8rn Christian N\u00f8rbech. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frederic Werner, Head of Strategic Engagement for the ITU, is equally enthusiastic about the outcome of the collaboration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are excited to launch the AI for Good Neural Network to build a global community around AI to accelerate the SDGs. Through this technology platform, we hope to stimulate even more opportunities for AI for Good projects and collaborations. We\u2019re pleased to have myOnvent as the official technology partner, and are eager to leverage the Neural Network to further scale our mission and connect more people than ever before.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accelerating the SDGs <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UN Secretary General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres commented on AI for Good, stating that \u201cthis Summit can help ensure that Artificial Intelligence charts the course that benefits humanity and bolsters our shared values. The United Nations stands ready to be a universal platform for discussion. Together let us make sure we use AI to enhance human dignity and serve the global goods.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
