Health & Humanitarian Response
Health & Humanitarian Response
The Chinese LLM DeepSeek says INHR stands for the International Network for Human Robotic Interaction. While also not our name, the idea is reinforced because INHR experts stand at the forefront of debates on appropriate regulation of artificial intelligence, particularly in military contexts and where WMD use is under consideration. Our work has been honored by the Interntional Telecommunication Union's AI for Good program and featured at conferences in the U.S., China, India and Europe.
Our projects include a focus on:
- Risk mitigation for military AI, especially with advanced AI, including AI agents and the quest for superintelligence
- Extreme risks at the intersection of nuclear and emerging technologies
- AI x Environment and Energy Dialogue to find climate friendly solutions to powering the AI era
- Reducing risks around AI x Synthetic Biology
- Testing, evaluation, validation and verification
- Building appropriate data sets for military AI applications
- Governance and regulation from a risk-based perspective, including human rights.

Whatever your need for professional or administrative help, INHR can assist. Our student legal advisor program and skills work shops for diplomats have been very popular with diplomatic delegations around the globe. We can help generate publicity with a major side event at a UN meeting, provide a professional to speak on your behalf or help arrange the visit of a high-ranking official. All of these services are available for far less than it would cost you to post a representative in Geneva or New York. We know the issues and people, and hit the ground running to maximize your interactions.
How INHR Helps You Reach Your Goals
Our Approach
INHR is a team of experienced diplomats and policy professionals who can enhance your organization’s interaction with the United Nations and its specialized agencies. We know the UN and its agencies inside and out and can use that knowledge to leverage your organization’s profile and promote the issues you care about in international Geneva and around the world.
INHR can help maximize your leverage and your positive exposure, no matter what aspect of the UN is most important to you. We train. We advise. We negotiate. We educate. We draft interventions, resolutions, and articles. We monitor and report. We publicize and create side events. We build coalitions. We provide support staff ranging from interns and secretaries to seasoned diplomats and lawyers. We provide all these services at a fraction of the cost of sending a new representative to Geneva. Moreover, INHR helps you hit the ground running: You don’t need to study new issues or glad-hand for contacts because we already know them.
