Fighting COVID-19 through digital innovation and transformation

In the midst of the global pandemic, digital technologies have captured our imagination for their potential to support us in the fight against COVID-19. Before the current COVID- health, education, social and economic crisis, the most visible uses of emerging technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, have been their applications in entertainment, in increasing productivity and convenience. 

This page features some of the initiatives that UNESCO and its partners have undertaken to harness the potential of digital technologies against COVID-19, including in regions which are digitally isolated. In the long-term, the COVID-19 crisis reminds us that we should nurture the socially-beneficial applications of digital technologies and focus on improving access and uses in countries where it is lacking.
