The Village: Reimagining Global Health Collaboration and Decolonization Through AI-Powered Connections

Yap Boum II of Institute Pasteur of Bangui will develop a digital platform, called The Village, that strengthens the scientific research capacity across the Pasteur Network and beyond through conversational chatbots that forge productive links between those seeking and offering resources, ideas, and collaboration. They will identify suitable Large language Models and create a chatbot that collects unstructured data through conversations with scientists to generate user profiles with higher potential for productive matching across the research community. They will test and continually refine the platform through in-person and virtual meetings across the scientific community. As a platform making connections between scientists regardless of their location, resources, and research capacity, The Village will increase equity in global health research.
