AI BriefingSupporting Asia's Disaster Response Teams with Hands-On AI
Key point
OpenAI partnered with the Gates Foundation and others to hold a hands-on AI workshop for disaster response experts in Asia.
Details
OpenAI collaborated with the Gates Foundation, the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC), and DataKind to hold the AI Jam for Disaster Management workshop in Bangkok. The event brought together 50 disaster management leaders from 13 countries across Southeast and South Asia.
Asia is the most vulnerable region in the world, concentrating about 75% of global disaster victims. A recent surge in ChatGPT usage during cyclones in Sri Lanka and Thailand confirmed demand for accessing information through AI during disaster situations.
Participants worked with OpenAI mentors to build immediately applicable custom GPTs and reusable workflows for situation reporting, needs assessment, and public communication. The goal is to move beyond interest in AI and strengthen practical capabilities that address real on-the-ground operational challenges.
