Unleashing autonomous drones for disaster risk reduction | AI FOR GOOD WEBINARS
0AI-powered drones are powerful tools in disaster response. Recent advances in AI-enabled computer vision, robotics, and swarm technologies have further pushed the boundaries of drone applications for disaster risk reduction. \n\nThese technologies are being deployed to improve efficiency in disaster prevention, for mitigation and preparedness, providing reconnaissance and situation awareness and ensuring early detection and mitigation of hazards. However, despite the advantages of drone technology to support emergency operations, widespread practical application has yet to occur. \n\nDuring the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, discover the latest drone technologies that are accelerating progress towards disaster resilience and sustainable development, mitigating underlying vulnerabilities and inequalities for the most exposed. AI can power disaster preparedness, and help to support more resilient and sustainable societies. \n\nSpeakers:\nDario Floreano\nDirector of the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems\nSwiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL)\n\nVijay Kumar\nNemirovsky Family Dean of Penn Engineering\nUniversity of Pennsylvania\n\nYan Wan\nProfessor in Electrical Engineering\nUniversity of Texas at Arlington\n\nMaría Inés Díaz\nFlying Labs Coordinator\nFlying Labs\n\nModerators:\nEszter Kovács\nCo-founder\nWorld Geospatial Industry Council (WGIC)\n\nJoin the Neural Network! \nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/neural-network/\nThe AI for Good networking community platform powered by AI. \nDesigned to help users build connections with innovators and experts, link innovative ideas with social impact opportunities, and bring the community together to advance the SDGs using AI.\n\n Watch the latest #AIforGood videos!\n\n\nExplore more #AIforGood content:\n AI for Good Top Hits\n • Top Hits \n\n AI for Good Webinars\n • AI for Good Webinars \n\n AI for Good Keynotes\n • AI for Good Keynotes \n\n Stay updated and join our weekly AI for Good newsletter:\nhttp://eepurl.com/gI2kJ5\n\n Discover what's next on our programme!\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/programme/\n\nCheck out the latest AI for Good news:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/newsroom/\n\nExplore the AI for Good blog:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/ai-for-good-blog/\n\n Connect on our social media:\nWebsite: https://aiforgood.itu.int/\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/ITU_AIForGood\nLinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/26511907 \nLinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8567748 \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aiforgood \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AIforGood\n\nWhat is AI for Good?\nWe have less than 10 years to solve the UN SDGs and AI holds great promise to advance many of the sustainable development goals and targets.\nMore than a Summit, more than a movement, AI for Good is presented as a year round digital platform where AI innovators and problem owners learn, build and connect to help identify practical AI solutions to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.\nAI for Good is organized by ITU in partnership with 40 UN Sister Agencies and co-convened with Switzerland.\n\nDisclaimer:\nThe views and opinions expressed are those of the panelists and do not reflect the official policy of the ITU.
