For at least the last decade, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has increasingly been seen as a possible answer to how to make public services more efficient.
For the second session in CELCIS' Emerging Insight Series they explored what is known about how AI is already being used in decision-making in responding to the care and protection needs of children.
The webinar showcased examples from across the world of where systems using AI have been built, the safeguards considered and put in place, how these have been working, and what can be learned from these international case studies, including from the United States of America, the UK and Canada.
The webinar featured:
- Professor Emily Putnam-Hornstein, The John A. Tate Distinguished Professor for Children in Need, University of North Carolina and Faculty Co-Director of the Children's Data Network
- Joanna Redden, Associate Professor, Western University and Co-Director, Data Justice Lab and Starling Centre
- Professor Rhema Vaithianathan, Professor of Health Economics and Director for the Centre for Social Data Analytics (CSDA), Auckland University of Technology (AUT).
