Artificial intelligence (AI) offers significant opportunities to improve human and planetary health. Yet as applications of AI continue to grow in some fields, its uptake has been slower when it comes to addressing social challenges such as improving health and healthcare, enabling broader social inclusion, and making urban spaces both more livable for residents and sustainable for the planet. As the power and reach of AI increases how can society maximize the potential gains for people and environment?
Launching in 2020, the Japan-India Transformative Technology Network will connect and empower a critical mass of outstanding change-makers in two of Asia’s largest democracies – India and Japan. Blending online and in-person participation, the program will offer a platform to develop ideas for new innovations and applications of AI to products, processes, policymaking, organizational practices, and financing across three interconnected fields: health systems; accessibility, mobility and inclusion; and living & livable cities.

- In healthcare, AI is being developed to help provide health advice and conduct diagnostics for those without access to healthcare; it is assisting doctors, nurses, and administrators to work more efficiently and allow greater numbers to receive quality care; and it is aiding predictions of the impact of both pandemic outbreaks and new cures and medicines. How can the potential of AI be harnessed to make healthcare more accessible, treatment more affordable, and diagnoses more accurate?
- As AI allows for ever-greater degrees of personalization, what are the AI solutions that can address individuals’ physical and cognitive challenges? How can AI open new means of communication and personalized learning methods to develop new skills for employment and support inclusion?
- As our cities grow and change, how should AI aid city planners and policymakers to make sense of growing collections of data, prioritize demands on resources, and even predict problems before they arise? How can AI contribute to transforming carbon-heavy systems (such as transport, housing, heating, etc.) to make cities more livable, and urban life more sustainable.
