SAFE AI (Standards and Assurance Framework for Ethical AI) is the first operational governance framework for AI in humanitarian action: so deployments can be seen, compared and improved. Free to use: download the Framework and Tools & Guidance here.

This briefing outlines how each step of the SAFE AI Framework has been designed to support the seven characteristics of trustworthy AI, as based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) AI Risk Management Framework.

This briefing sets out the main categories of risk that arise when humanitarian organisations deploy AI, and shows how the SAFE AI Framework and its tools respond to each.

AI governs who gets aid, yet the humanitarian sector has no shared framework to govern AI. SAFE AI’s inaugural briefing establishes why the governance gap is structural, why global frameworks don't translate to humanitarian realities, and what independent assurance must look like.

This how-to note from the SAFE AI Project provides practical guidance for co-designing AI solutions with crisis-affected communities – bridging the divide between humanitarian and technological co-design practices. It aims to improve the delivery of responsible and ethical AI solutions in humanitarian contexts.

This case study from the SAFE AI Project examines real-world challenges in implementing participatory AI through a groundbreaking pilot in Kakuma Refugee Camp and Kalobeyei Settlement.

This factsheet from the FCDO-funded SAFE AI Project provides practical guidance for humanitarians working with AI to understand two different approaches to participation in AI development.
