Helping disaster response teams turn AI into action across Asia

OpenAI and partner organizations held an 'AI Jam' workshop in Bangkok with 50 disaster management leaders from 13 Asian countries to explore practical ways AI can improve emergency response. The workshop focused on building custom GPTs (generalized pre-trained transformer models, or AI tools trained on broad data) and workflows for tasks like situation reporting and needs assessment, addressing how disaster response teams in resource-constrained environments with fragmented data can work faster and more effectively.
