Artificial intelligence has brought with it new methods of data collection and analysis. UN Special Envoy for Technology Amandeep Singh Gill highlights the importance of developing robust data sets to address critical issues facing the world, such as global food insecurity. "We need new data sets on how farmers are adapting to the changes caused by our changing climate. So bring these data sets together, run analyses on them, and be (more) smart about climate-resilient agriculture." As the 2030 deadline for the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) approaches rapidly, Gill also highlights the need for a global network of “digital champions” for the goals. “I think this is the key area: Data capacity and human capacity do it together,” The discussion was moderated by Nicholas Thompson of The Atlantic and produced by GZERO Media in partnership with the United Nations, the Complex Risk Analytics Fund, and the Early Warnings for All initiative.
