The second edition of the AI Learning Webinar Series will explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance university research and support scholars to generate knowledge for innovation and sustainable development. It will examine how AI can be embedded into research methodologies in an ethical and sustainable way.
The intersection of AI design, deployment and social impact will be analysed, and how it can actively shape research and institutional practices while being grounded in transparency, accountability and justice. Participants will also learn how AI for Social Good (AI4SG) research can be conceived, implemented and published to advance human and planetary well-being.

Background
The AI Learning Lab Webinar Series is organized by the Futures of Higher Education and Artificial Intelligence Action Group, co-led by UNU and UNESCO International Institute for Higher Education, under the Higher Education Sustainability Initiative (HESI). The action group aims to establish a transdisciplinary collaborative platform which will build a knowledge base on current trends, opportunities and risks that AI poses to higher education through the lens of sustainable development.
The second edition of the webinar series is led by the implementation team on AI in Research and Development (AIRD), one of the thematic pillars under the HESI action group.
