Global United States
Under the AI Sprint, BMS/Information Technology Management (ITM) and the BMS/Office of Human Resources (OHR) have partnered to develop the Job Description (JD) Generator, an AI-powered tool designed to help colleagues draft high‑quality JDs faster, more consistently, and in full alignment with UNDP standards.
This initiative directly supports the People for 2030 Strategy by leveraging artificial intelligence to streamline HR processes, enhance decision‑making, and improve workforce planning. It represents a practical application of AI to address everyday operational pain points while advancing UNDP’s transition toward a more digital, agile, and data‑driven HR function.
Fair Digital Finance SupTech
Arab States MoroccoIn partnership with UNDP Morocco’s Accelerator Lab and Morocco’s Central Bank, ICPSD SDG AI Lab developed a FinTech Supervisory Technology (SupTech) tool that analyzes public sentiments related to financial services. Using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML), the tool processes social media content (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) in Arabic and French to understand the needs of vulnerable groups. The solution provides insights into financial stability, inclusion, and market conduct. A web application generates visual dashboards and PDF-ready reports, enabling real-time monitoring of public concerns.

Global GuatemalaThe event convened ambassadors, ministers, city leaders, UN entities, industry pioneers, and innovators for two days of high-level dialogue and an Ambassador Roundtable on the future of AI-driven cities and communities. Discussions explored how the convergence of artificial intelligence, immersive virtual environments, spatial intelligence, and other frontier technologies is reshaping urban governance and enabling new approaches to delivering public services, including emerging concepts such as the AI-enabled citiverse. The programme also examined how these developments can help translate the Global Digital Compact into trusted, inclusive, and people-centred outcomes for cities and communities worldwide. The event concluded with two major milestones: (1) The launch of the Executive Briefing on “AI, Spatial Intelligence and the AI-Enabled Citiverse”, developed with the contributions from 20 UN entities. (2) The endorsement of the Call to Action for Humanity: Shaping the Future of Cities in the Age of AI and Citiverse, reflecting a shared commitment to advancing trusted, inclusive, and people-centred digital futures.
