Data-Driven Futures: Responsible AI in Climate and Health Policy

Join The Alan Turing Institute 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 effects 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.
