The Innovation Service contributes to the UNHCR-WB Joint Data Centre in sharing research insights, particularly on predictive analytics and other big data\/AI-research based projects.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;Why are big data and artificial intelligence relevant to the UN Refugee Agency?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]Part of UNHCR\u2019s vision of becoming a trusted leader in data and information relating to refugees and affected populations requires understanding, co-designing, building, launching and maintaining projects that utilize either big data or AI. These technologies will be fundamental to an agile and innovative organisation that will be more prepared to anticipate and respond to the crises of tomorrow.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;Does the Innovation Service collaborate with partners on big data and AI?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]Yes, we have worked with many partners, such as academia, the nonprofit sector, collaborative platforms, governments, the private sector, other UN agencies and persons of concern.
