Panel discussion - Exploring the role and impact of AI in a policy context: Challenges and opportunities for decision-making - AMLD EPFL 2020

AI has the capacity to maximise the social, economic, and environmental benefits of big data sources for decision-making. Researchers, governments, companies, non-governmental organisations, and citizen groups are actively experimenting, innovating, and adapting AI tools to tackle policy relevant problems. Research and development are needed to properly design sound theoretical methods and applied tools for generating policy relevant information, implementing policy objectives, designing more effective policies, or measuring their impact while mitigating potential risks.
