Great potential of non-traditional data for real impact
AI-based solutions could revolutionize international development cooperation – yet their full potential remains largely untapped. The use of non-traditional data sources, such as satellite or mobile data, also holds great promise for international development cooperation but has not yet been fully integrated into GIZ's standard services. At the same time, the increased application of novel analytical techniques raises important ethical, ecological, and data protection questions.
This is where the GIZ Data Lab comes in: Our experiments serve to test and prototype AI applications and data-driven methods – always with a focus on socially responsible and ecologically sustainable applications.
Strong partnerships and effective learning
In a rapidly evolving digital ecosystem, strong partnerships are essential to staying at the forefront of the latest developments and breakthroughs. The GIZ Data Lab collaborates with leading actors from international cooperation, business, research, and policy to design innovative experiments that are both scalable and impactful.
As a learning unit, we work according to the "Working Out Loud" principle, communicating our processes transparently. This fosters mutual learning and inspires new ideas within our partner network. Our central platform for sharing insights, ongoing experiments, and emerging topics is the GIZ Data Lab Blog.
Do you have an innovative idea for a data-driven experiment? Do you believe your AI application could make a real difference in international development cooperation? Then we look forward to hearing from you!
