Watch the event live here!
Building on the spark created by the first AI Summit in 2017, the second AI Summit in 2018 will identify practical solutions of how AI can accelerate progress towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There are 17 SDGs, 169 targets, and around 230+ indicators to measure the SDGs. All indicators in one file are listed here. The goal of the Summit is to launch projects that can be implemented in the coming months. The Summit is not about reporting, it is about building.
The heart of the Summit are the following tracks on Day 2 (16 May 2018):
- AI and satellite imagery Team lead: Stuart Russell, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, UC-Berkeley
- AI and health Team leads: Marcel Salathé, Professor & Head of the Digital Epidemiology lab, EPFL;
World Health Organization (WHO)
"AI for health - A Primer. By Prof Marcel Salathé (to come)" - AI and smart cities & communities Team lead: Renato de Castro, SmartCity Expert
- Trust in AI: Team leads: Huw Price, University of Cambridge; Francesca Rossi, University of Padova and IBM Watson; Stephen Cave, Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence at the University of Cambridge;
Each track is curated by a team. The team will also identify, in the time leading up to the Summit, projects that could be launched at the Summit. The teams will present an overview of their respective track on Day 1, during the last plenary. During Day 2, the four tracks will run in parallel. On Day 3 in plenary, findings of each track will be summarized and presented.
