The emerging technologies landscape is dynamic, rapidly evolving, and sometimes unpredictable
For example, the release of ChatGPT has led to an unprecedented increase in the availability and usage of Large Language Models (LLM). While this has democratized LLM accessibility, its implications are widespread. Many LLMs operate as black-box solutions, meaning that their training data and model architecture are veiled in ambiguity. Moreover, well-defined usage regulations are needed to heighten the risk of technology mishandling and misuse.
At OICT, we realize that deciphering the effects of the ever-changing technological landscape can be daunting. As such, we support the United Nations in understanding how best to harness the potential of frontier technologies while mitigating their unintended consequences. In partnership with clients across the Secretariat, we explore solutions that can drive U.N. mandates and ultimately, contribute to equitable and inclusive development, for the benefit of all.
