Listen "Machine Morality: How Bias Creeps Into Geospatial Intelligence"
Episode Synopsis
Maps are everywhere. Whether navigating to and from the office or analyzing location-specific threats from foreign adversaries, government and defense leaders rely on geospatial intelligence systems, or GIS, to glean real-time insights that help them to make decisions.
These AI-powered digital maps offer visualizations and analytics many of us couldn’t imagine just five or 10 years ago. But, as with all data-powered technologies, agencies need to ensure they’re tapping up-to-date, robust information to fuel their GIS tools and making use of best practices around data use and maintenance. For example, who is training the data used to populate these maps? And how are inherent and unconscious biases impacting their quality?
That’s the obstacle we’ll tackle on this episode of Machine Morality, a podcast from Esri and GovExec’s Studio 2G where we get to the bottom of some of government’s biggest ethical AI challenges. On this episode, we'll hear from defense and industry leaders who spoke at the recent webcast, ”AI and Ethics: Integrity and Geospatial Analytics.”
