In this Episode, we are joined by Ziad Al Achkar, Ph.D. Candidate and Researcher at the Carter school for peace and conflict resolution to discuss his research that focuses on the use of digital technologies and remote sensing by humanitarian and peacebuilding organisations. Ziad shares his insights on the trending technologies we need to know about in the sector, key areas of humanitarian technologies that security staff should focus on that can help keep aid workers safe, as well as opportunities to better bridge the divide between IT security experts and physical security experts. We further explore technologies impact on safe access to enable acceptance and analyze the implications of mis-and-disinformation.
