Listen "The Next Responder: Imagining AI as a Team Member"
Episode Synopsis
Artificial intelligence, or AI, is no longer a futuristic concept. It is already shaping how disasters are predicted, managed, and responded to worldwide. In this episode, we explore why AI should be seen not just as a tool and a partner in crisis management. Our hosts are joined by AI subject matter experts to explore the real-world benefits of incorporating AI into emergency planning, response, recovery, and mitigation, such as speed, prediction, and coordination, along with the very real risks, from over-reliance to ethical blind spots. As AI becomes standard in the field, emergency managers will need to evolve into emergency orchestrators, guiding people, machines, and data in real time.This isn’t just a shift in tools. It’s a shift in mindset, leadership, and responsibilities.
