We are fortunate to be joined by Jess Rapson, Director of the Algorithmic Governance Foundation, who will be giving a talk on applications of AI for humanitarian aid. Jess has built a CNN model to detect and count refugee tents in the Gaza Strip to quantify the humanitarian impacts of the war and better distribute aid to displaced populations.
Superhuman general AI is a threat to our jobs and lives. We believe that the development of general AI systems should be paused until we know how to do it safely and equitably. But narrow, specialised AI can be extremely useful and beneficial, without the same risks. Jessβs work shows us a better path for AI development.
