Abstract
In this article the authors describe the emerging role of artificial intelligence in complementing the training and engagement of young community health volunteers. Drawing on existing global trends and practice experience, Sutan et al. discuss how AI-driven training systems can complement knowledge acquisition, motivation, and service delivery among young volunteers, particularly in resource-poor settings. The article also emphasises the importance of equitable access and inclusive design to guarantee such digital innovations reduce rather than widen health inequities.
