For at least the last decade, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has increasingly been seen as a possible answer to both how to make public services more efficient and a way to improve decision-making to lead to better outcomes for people needing support.
This session in CELCIS' Emerging Insight Series of webinars will explore what is known about how AI is already being used in decision-making in responding to the care and protection needs of children.
Join Tuesday 10 February, to hear about 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 we can learn from these international case studies, including from the United States of America, the UK and Canada.
This webinar and discussion, will include:
- 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).
There will be space for questions during the webinar.
