The most important questions about AI are not just about what AI *can* do. They're about what it *should* do.

Who benefits? Whose voices get amplified, and whose get left out? How do we harness this technology in ways that are equitable, culturally relevant, and accountable, especially in low- and middle-income countries?

These are exactly the questions we'll be digging into at our AI plenary at the 2026 SBCC Summit.

Featuring:
Oluseun Onigbinde, Global Director, BudgIT Foundation, Nigeria
Anneka Wickramanayake, Director of Research, Evaluation and Design, Jacaranda Health, Kenya
Dino Rech, CEO, Audere (Equitable Care Worldwide), South Africa
Fatima Abubakar Alkali, Strategic Communications and Public Affairs Leader, Nigeria (Moderator)
