AIUK Fringe Event: Responsible AI in Climate Change and Public Health Date: 13 February 2024 Location: TBD Melbourne Time: TBD
In conjunction with the AI for Climate workshop, you are also invited to a fringe event on the evening of Feb 13th focused on the responsible use of AI in climate change and public health. Organized in collaboration with Turing, CSIRO, and CAIDE, the objective of the event is to host a multidisciplinary panel discussion among experts in AI, climate change, and public health followed by an interactive activity for attendees to increase skills & capabilities for identifying and managing risks in this context.
This fringe event will set the stage for our 2 day workshop by providing context and a broader view on the values and challenges of the proposed AI-based solution, enriching the workshop's content with foundational insights. It also presents a unique opportunity for you to meet and engage with the local community of practitioners and researchers, with plenty of room for networking and collaboration.
Join us at the AIUK Fringe Event, in collaboration with CAIDE & CSIRO's data61, for a focused exploration into responsible AI's role in developing climate-resilient health policies. This session will delve into the ethical challenges and governance issues of AI in the context of climate change and its affects on public health. Additionally, the event features a case study activity, focusing on practicing skills in identifying and managing risks associated with AI-supported decision making. This is an opportunity to deepen your understanding and enhance your ability to identify and find management solutions for risks associated with AI in health and environmental contexts.
Please note the details below are subject to changes, with more details to come.
16:00 – 16:30 Welcome & Networking
16:30 – 17:20 Panel Discussion and Q&A
This multidisciplinary discussion will bring together experts to provide a comprehensive perspective on current research and innovations at the intersection of the field of AI, Climate Change and Health. The goal is to facilitate a productive exchange of ideas and insights that can inform future research and collaboration.
17:20 - 18:30 Case Study activity Dive into a real-world case study, designed to enhance your skills in identifying risks associated with AI in the realms of climate change and health. This session, supported by guiding material from The Alan Turing Institute, will provide practical experience in strategising effective solutions for AI-related challenges.
18:30 - 19:00 Plenary Discussion and Knowledge Share
19:00 - 19:30 Drinks
@dingaaling do you have a suggestion for which role to display for Gavin in this context? Any thought on title? (will share via email with everyone as well later, but posting here for reference
This looks incredible @aranas. Gavin's title is: Executive Dean of Engineering, Physical and Mathematical Sciences at Royal Holloway University of London (see: https://www.turing.ac.uk/people/researchers/gavin-shaddick)

AIUK Fringe Event: Responsible AI in Climate Change and Public Health
In conjunction with the AI for Climate workshop, we are organizing an afternoon fringe event - on Feb 13th - focused on the responsible use of AI in climate change and public health. This event, organized in collaboration with Turing, CSIRO, and CAIDE, will feature a panel discussion and an interactive activity to engage the audience. The objective of the fringe event is to enable a multidisciplinary dialogue among experts in AI, climate change, and public health as well as increase skills & capabilities for identifying and managing risks in this context.
While this fringe event is independent of the workshop, it shares thematic overlap; discussions will center around a case study for an AI-based microsimulation tool. The event will set the stage for our 2 day workshop by providing context and a broader view on the values and challenges of the proposed AI-based solution, enriching the workshop's content with foundational insights. It also presents a unique opportunity for you to meet and engage with the local community of practitioners and researchers, with plenty of room for networking and collaboration.
