Event description
Launching on Monday, 12th October | Online
After years of conceptual and technical developments, we will present a pilot version of our Data Engine, as part of Diplo’s new artificial intelligence (AI) and data ecosystem. Simple in usability and complex in development, it will allow diplomats and other global governance actors to use data in practical ways.
The engine addresses data from the following perspectives: diplomatic (what matters for practitioners of diplomacy); technical (what the cutting-edge tools and platforms are); statistical (which proven statistical techniques can be used, such as data normalisation and identifying outliers); and AI-related (what are the optimal algorithms for discovering patterns of relevance for diplomacy).
The first practical use of Diplo’s Data Engine will be to power the Geneva Data Sandbox as part of the Road to Bern via Geneva process leading up to the UN World Data Forum.
