In 2018, scientists warned we have until 2030 to halve global emissions to avoid irreversible climate tipping points. Yet, that same year, Exxon aimed to increase oil and gas sales by 25% by 2030.

Half the world's population lacks essential health services, a gap autonomous mobile clinics (AMCs) with AI doctor functions aim to bridge for universal health coverage. Recognized by the World Economic Forum, this AI for Good session focuses on developing self-driving vehicles as adaptable healthcare delivery platforms for underserved and hard-to-reach communities.

An AI doctor application, demonstrated by screening monkeypox from low-end mobile phone images, illustrates this concept. Join the discussion on developing, open-sourcing, and standardizing AI doctor functions. Learn how AI and multi-stakeholder partnerships can scale these pilots, setting industry standards and expanding benefits. Speakers include Ao Kong (UN Technology Bank) and Shaoshan Liu (IEEE).
