Lecture: Preparing for an AI-Enabled future

In recent years, much attention has been paid to the use of innovation and technology in order, on the one hand, to provide faster and better coordination in critical situations and, on the other hand, to enrich large amounts of data into useful information that can help make informed decisions. Within the safety & security domain, it is a challenge to inform individuals and organizations working together around a common problem in such a way that activities can be developed.

This means that sufficient information must be present to coordinate activities, while access to information must be possible within the network. Without these two conditions, it is impossible to address a security threat or coordinate a crisis.

Those challenges create several issues regarding the coordination of information, the integration of technology within and between organizations and networks, the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence to achieve better decision-making, etc. In this lecture, Mr. Chaara elaborates on these issues and tries to answer the challenges posed.
