Title: AI for Global Development: Balancing Promise and Peril in the Global South
Speaker: Dan Banik Professor of Political Science, Director of the Oslo SDG Initiative, Centre for Development and the Environment, University of Oslo
Moderator: Xu Xiuli Dean of CIDGA, Professor of COHD, CAU
Time: 10:30-12:00, Thursday, October 23rd, 2025
Venue: Room 7318, New library, East Campus of CAU
Language: English
Overview: Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping the landscape of global development. It heightens risks of manipulation, surveillance, and deepening structural inequalities. But it also expands opportunities to improve health systems, education access, agricultural productivity, and climate adaptation, offering new tools to reduce poverty and create more equitable pathways to prosperity. This lecture will unpack these dual dynamics, probing both the development potential and challenges posed by large-scale AI deployment. It will highlight how generative AI, when responsibly governed, can accelerate inclusive growth and expand opportunities across the Global South. Through case studies in education, healthcare, agriculture, and climate resilience, the lecture will examine what works in practice, drawing lessons on scaling innovation without sacrificing rights and integrity.
Introduction to the Speaker: Dan Banik is professor of political science, director of the Oslo SDG Initiative at the Centre for Development and the Environment, and affiliate professor at Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo. He is also Academic Director at Circle U. European University Alliance and Extraordinary Professor at the University of Pretoria. His books include Political Transition, Poverty, and Inclusive Development in Malawi: The Democratic Dividend; Poverty and Elusive Development; and Starvation and India’ s Democracy. Prof. Banik was a Visiting Professor and Consulting Scholar at Stanford University (2010-2017) and a Visiting Professor at China Agricultural University (2012-2017). He is the host of the In Pursuit of Development podcast with listeners in 160 countries.
