AIDE Initiative

Saudi Arabia's humanitarian agency KSrelief has launched the third phase of its Madad initiative in Sudan, expanding aid efforts amid the country's ongoing humanitarian crisis. The Saudi Press Agency reported the rollout, which continues the center's relief programs providing food, shelter and medical support to people affected by the conflict in Sudan.

The AIDE Initiative is using artificial intelligence to predict, manage and respond to disasters driven by climate change, such as floods, wildfires and extreme storms. Sustainability Magazine reports on the effort, highlighting how AI tools could give communities and responders earlier warnings and better data as climate-related disasters grow more frequent and severe worldwide.
