Deep machine learning in the geospatial domain - linking government, industry and academia. #womenintech #womenwhocode #WomenInSTEM
Joined March 2015
I had occasion to watch this again. We gave this talk in 2018. I believe cloud compute hasn't changed a bit.

Just adding to this with a perspective on the impacts of the (lack of) thinking by technologists.

This one sentence expresses in words the unease I've experienced for quite some time. "AI research is embedded in a socio-economic system that is divorced from anything deeper than winning its own game". I love and hate AI at the same time. How about you?.

Too many organisations behave as if the future is going to be like the past. It evidently will not.
Global Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly keeps rapidly breaking new records. We need to seriously consider the possibility that this warming spike will be worse than the 1997 and 2015 Super El Niños. This will turn into record atmospheric heat soon.

The science is clear, we have to send our #emissions over a cliff before the end of the decade if we want a hope of avoiding catastrophic #GlobalHeating. Who does it serve to pretend that we are not going to undergo a massive #economic discontinuity over the coming decades?.

Coming from the #environmental sciences, it feels like the worlds of #AI and #industry exist in a parallel world. The @McKinsey_MGI assessed impacts may make sense in a world with a stable #climate and #society . But the actual world is volatile, complex and radically uncertain.
Generative AI could unleash the next wave of productivity–unlocking trillions of dollars in value across sectors from banking to life sciences. Read our initial findings assessing the impact of this new era of AI:

A promising appointment. In @soundboy wrote: "[people at the AI frontier] are competing rather than collaborating. many admit they have not yet established a way to slow down and co-ordinate. I believe they would sincerely welcome governments stepping in".
📢Announced today, leading tech entrepreneur Ian Hogarth @soundboy has been appointed Chair of the UK's Foundation Model Taskforce. With an initial £100m of funding, it will unite industry, academia & gov to pioneer the safe development of AI in the UK.

With such wealthy and needy sponsorship, I'm surprised that tickets for this are £2k a pop. What am I missing?.
