WHAT WE'RE BUILDING
AI solutions for people on the move
Trusted information before the journey, support during it, and safer, rights-based borders across it.
Our approach
Three priorities, one connected map
Every tool IOM builds traces back to one of three priorities to strengthen the wider migration ecosystem, support the mission, and free colleagues' time. Each ladders up to the IOM Strategic Plan 2024–2028 and the Global Goals.
Migration ecosystem
Putting trusted tools in the hands of migrants, partners and governments.
Mission delivery
Sharpening how IOM reads the landscape, secures funding and responds to crises.
Organisational efficiency
Freeing colleagues from repetitive work so their time goes to people, not paperwork.
Responsible by design
A human stays in every consequential decision. No tool decides a person's case on its own.
AI supports; humans decide. Every solution is built against ten responsible-AI principles, with data protection and human oversight written into the lifecycle.
How we keep it responsible
From IOM programmes worldwide
Partners
Built with trusted partners
IOM parters with private sector and UN Agencies on AI initiatives.
