Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) Knowledge Assistant
Global Not Applicable
The CTED Knowledge Assistant is the UN Secretariat’s first AI chatbot in production, developed by the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) in collaboration with OICT, based on Microsoft Copilot Studio and the Microsoft Power Platform. The tool leverages generative AI to provide instant, context-aware responses by drawing on over 20 years of CTED’s institutional knowledge.
The primary objective of the activity is to strengthen CTED’s capacity to manage and utilize its knowledge resources more effectively. The assistant automates routine tasks such as information retrieval, summarization, and drafting, while standardizing outputs and accelerating internal workflows. Developed in alignment with the UN’s AI governance framework, it integrates robust safeguards for ethical use, data privacy, and human oversight, while advancing AI capacity and innovation across the UN Secretariat.
