About the masterclass

As the volume of global data surpasses traditional analytical capacities, artificial intelligence has become an indispensable tool for modern policy makers. This masterclass provides an overview of the use of AI for policy. Specifically, it zooms in on how AI can assist by utilizing Machine Learning (ML) frameworks, from Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to Computer Vision (CV), to transform raw information into actionable policy evidence.

Our researchers inform participants not only on how their research uses AI to derive at new findings and conclusion, but also how this research is used to directly inform governments to influence their policy process.

By the end of this session, participants will have a basic understanding of the various uses of AI for policy research.

This masterclass is part of the Policy Research translated to Action Series, where three expert speakers from three different UNU institutes share their research and insights on the session’s topic, focusing on practical applications and how academic knowledge is translated into policy advice.

Who should attend

This session targets policymakers, government officials and other relevant civil servants from national and regional administrations, officials from international organisations, entrepreneurs, professionals in the digital and other relevant sectors, representatives of civil society organisations, universities, research centres, think-tanks, as well as the general public.
