This project will explore how countries in Southeast Asia use new technologies – specifically, Artificial Intelligence (AI) – to support Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) missions and strengthen existing HADR systems. It will also explore forms of cooperation in the region on this issue. This project seeks to learn more about how civil and military actors draft their respective AI, data, and cloud strategies, specifically in relation to humanitarian operations and how this impacts humanitarian thought leadership in the Indo-Pacific.
