Does AI in a crisis need ethics with urgency?
Artificial intelligence tools can help save lives in a pandemic. However, the need to implement technological solutions rapidly raises challenging ethical issues. We need new approaches for ethics with urgency, to ensure AI can be safely and beneficially used in the COVID-19 response and beyond.
What are the challenges of ethics in a crisis?
What components must ethics with urgency incorporate?

What should an MLOps stack look like? With UbiOps and AIIA.
The different ways to build and run an end-to-end AI application are countless. The choice from a wide range of open-source tools, vendor niche-solutions and public cloud services can make it difficult to select the right tools for the job. In this workshop we will together dive into a use case for which a stack of solutions needs to be selected, each with its pros and cons. In groups we will collaborate on different designs and have a discussion afterwards to share insights and best-practices.
UbiOps is a deployment and serving platform for data science. It helps you turn your Python & R code into live web services and use them from anywhere at any time. UbiOps is part of the AI Infrastructure Alliance (AIIA), the global alliance that brings together the building blocks for the AI applications of today and tomorrow.

AI with impact: for crisis response and business continuity and recovery
16:30 – 17:10
PANEL DISCUSSION
How to overcome pandemic disruption: an AI for business continuity action plan
The impact of coronavirus has already had an unprecedented impact on businesses around the globe. Supply chains are frozen, teams are working remote, sales cycles are unpredictable. The end result for companies will vary widely depending on how well they balance defence (handling the present) and risk-mitigation with innovation and technology investment (winning the future). Forward-focused leaders will need to know where to focus with AI, and what kinds of applications and use-cases matter most to stop the bleeding, and to build a stronger foundation for resiliency and competitiveness.
Near term AI use cases for business continuity: from managing risk to driving efficiencies, what AI application types are helping to respond and recover?
How to leverage what to focus on – where are the business areas where AI can make all the difference in surviving and thriving in this pandemic/in a crisis?
What frameworks might turn risk mitigation into new business models?
How can you form a vision with confidence?
