A United Nations research institute created an AI refugee avatar

The United Nations has partnered with a research institute to develop two AI-powered avatars aimed at educating the public about refugee issues. This initiative, detailed in a recent article by 404 Media, originated from an experiment conducted by a class at the United Nations University Center for Policy Research.

The result of this experiment was the creation of two AI agents or avatars – Amina and Abdalla. Amina is depicted as a fictional woman who has fled Sudan and is currently residing in a refugee camp in Chad, while Abdalla is portrayed as a fictional soldier associated with the Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary group in Sudan.

The concept behind these avatars is to allow users to engage in conversations with Amina and Abdalla on the experiment’s website. However, there have been reported difficulties with accessing the platform, with some users encountering error messages during registration attempts.

Eduardo Albrecht, a Columbia professor and senior fellow at UNU-CPR, emphasized that the development of these AI avatars was primarily an exploratory exercise rather than a definitive solution proposed for the UN’s refugee initiatives. Despite the potential utility of these avatars in making persuasive appeals to donors, feedback from workshop participants indicated a mixed reception. Some individuals expressed reservations, suggesting that refugees themselves are more than capable of representing their own experiences and narratives.

In conclusion, the creation of AI-powered avatars like Amina and Abdalla represents a novel approach to raising awareness and facilitating dialogue around refugee issues. While the experiment has sparked interest and debate within the academic community, further refinement and consideration of ethical implications are necessary before the widespread adoption of such technology in humanitarian efforts.
