AI is revolutionizing research by accelerating data analysis, enabling complex simulations, and uncovering patterns that were previously undetectable. It enhances productivity and fosters collaboration across disciplines and continents. However, it also raises challenges related to ethics, data bias, and the need for interpretability in AI-driven research.

The KFPE conference will explore how AI affects global research collaborations and how we can harness such technologies responsibly and inclusively to advance global research. Discussions will range from practical applications of AI tools to general ethical questions associated with this new technology. The conference includes presentations, workshops and interactive discussions to shape together the future of AI in global research.

During a key note presentation, AgriPath researcher Kibrom Sibhatu highlights how artificial intelligence (AI) embedded in human-centered digital tools can transform agricultural advisory services for smallholder farmers. Drawing on the AgriPath project and its farmbetter app, we will discuss how digital innovation and delivery mechanisms can democratize access to sustainable land management knowledge and enhance resilience in smallholder systems.
