LEAD EDUCATORS/TRAINERS
Bill Marino, Brown University (Cybersecurity ScM)
EVENT
Friday, February 17, 2023 from 9:00am-2:00pm (EST) at Watson Institute.
Final Presentation:
AI can play an important role in Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response (HADR). To ensure AI’s success on such use cases (and for all users), it is critical to consider its human element: the different stakeholders in the HADR environment, their distinct goals, pain points, and design needs, how they’ll interact with AI technologies in the field, how to apply AI technologies fairly and ethically, and more. Put differently, we must emphasize human-centered design, think deeply about human computer interaction, and practice responsible AI. This half-day minisummit will feature group discussion as well as speakers from academia, government, military, NGOs, and the technology sector.
