Global AIDS Strategy and Digital Health innovations Including Artificial Intelligence : An Interview with UNAIDS Consultant

Digital technology is in many ways a new frontier that is increasingly part of our everyday lives making the perspectives, experiences and lessons learned from key population communities and civil society even more crucial to ground and inform this report. As a leading expert at the global, regional and national level, I was invited by UNAIDS consultant Robin Montgomery to have a conversation on the topic of AI for HIV. The conversation covered a number of issues (opportunities, challenges, lessons learned, etc) where I provided the critical input to define and chart the path forward.

  • How do digital health innovations [and by extension, AI] figure into your organization’s/network’s current and future-oriented strategies?
  • What are the top 3-4 concerns/risks that you have/your organization has/your communities have expressed about integrating AI technologies into service delivery across the HIV care cascade?
  • What opportunities do you see for the greater integration of AI tools into HIV prevention, treatment, care and support services and programs?
  • What is needed to build community capacity to engage in AI for HIV interventions?
  • What are 2-3 key considerations that you would like UNAIDS to reflect within the incoming Global AIDS Strategy?
  • Are there examples of good practice digital health/AI interventions that you would recommend us to look at?
