Sandra Uwantege Hart on Engaging with New Technology in Humanitarian Aid
Update: 2025-09-30
Description
Voices is a new mini-series from Humanitarian AI Today. In daily five-minute flashpods we pass the mic to innovators, researchers and practitioners on the humanitarian front lines, delivering real-time news on how they are building, testing and collaborating on uses of artificial intelligence.
In this Voices flashpod, Technology Strategist Sandra Uwantege Hart from PoliSync joins Humanitarian AI Today podcast host Brent Phillips to explore inclusive uses of emerging technologies like AI in humanitarian action.
Their conversation covers PoliSync’s work bringing technical experts together to explore emerging issues in humanitarian aid, the use of AI to empower local organizations and startups, and the broader convergence of technologies we’re seeing today. Recorded against the backdrop of the UN General Assembly, they also examine the state of the humanitarian sector and the pressure on large international agencies to innovate for greater efficiency. Sandra closes the discussion with a call for improving digital access and literacy to help people help themselves, warning that old practices could perpetuate inequality if the sector doesn't engage correctly with new technology.
