New online course – Community crisis intelligence: elevating community voices with AI
CDAC Network is excited to announce the launch of a new online training course, Community crisis intelligence: elevating community voices with AI, developed in partnership with the Centre for Collective Intelligence Design and Data Friendly Space. This timely course is designed to equip humanitarian professionals with the skills to harness the power of community intelligence and artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver faster, better and more localised humanitarian responses.
What is community crisis intelligence?
Community crisis intelligence (CCI) integrates crowdsourced data from crisis-affected communities and frontline responders with AI-powered tools. This approach enables more effective crisis mitigation, response and recovery by ensuring that local voices are heard and prioritised in humanitarian decision-making.
Through this course, participants will gain a foundational understanding of CCI and explore how AI can amplify the voices of those affected by crises, offering insights into smarter resource allocation, improved situational awareness and enhanced monitoring and evaluation.
