Where ethics and geospatial AI meet | GeoAI | Discovery
0Building norms for the ethical use of AI, so that customers, policymakers, and citizens at large, have confidence and trust in the geospatial industry is an emerging and important topic. This message emerged from the WGIC Policy and Trends report on GeoAI, where a range of GeoAI experts presented their views on the need for ethical governance around geospatial data. \n\nEthical discussions around our agreed moral principles that govern a person’s (or organization’s) behavior are gaining relevance in the context of AI, as algorithms are driving more and more decisions. This AI for Good panel discussion will explore how the geospatial industry can be a leading force in the discussions on ethics and AI.\n\n Speakers:\nCaroline Gevaert, Assistant Professor at the Faculty Geo-information Science and Earth Observation (ITC), University of Twente\nChristopher Tucker, Chairman, American Geographic Society\nAmina Al Sherif, Chief Innovation Officer and Head of Special Projects, Anno.ai\nStephen Galsworthy, Head of Data, TomTom\n\n Moderators:\nBarbara Ryan, Executive Director, World Geospatial Industry Council (WGIC)\n\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?\nThe AI for Good series is the leading action-oriented, global & inclusive United Nations platform on AI.
