Shifting power in development and public health can present real challenges when balancing the scale of information with the contextualisation required for locally-led response. AI is opening new possibilities for co-creating solutions that are both data-driven and locally-led, but can we ensure decision-making stays local -- and human?

Join Self Help Africa’s Senior Global Advisor for Community-led Programming, Connor Steele-McCutchen, and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, for an introductory presentation on how customised GPT models can be used to enhance qualitative research methodologies—speeding up analysis while deepening stakeholder engagement. We’ll also examine key ethical, methodological, and quality challenges in using AI for localisation and share learnings on how to address them.
