We held a webinar on 7th May with DIAL exploring critical alignment between AI and digital public infrastructure (DPI) to deliver public benefits at scale. The session brought together policymakers, practitioners, technologists, and ecosystem partners globally to discuss how governments can ensure this convergence expands opportunity, strengthens public trust, and delivers equitable outcomes.
Key takeaways:
- AI and DPI are already converging—thoughtful coordination from day one builds stronger foundations for scaling
- Every country can begin aligning AI and DPI now; early integration strengthens both systems
- Practical tools and shared frameworks are essential for ensuring interoperability, inclusivity, and responsiveness to public needs
To support this alignment, we launched three complementary resources grounded in real country deployment experience:
DPI-AI Framework (CDPI)
DPI-AI Framework Simulator (CDPI)
Convergence of AI and DPI policy brief (DIAL)
AI-DPI Toolkit (DIAL)
