NCEAS Roundtable this Thursday with Millie Chapman!
Mona Farnisa
Dear Community!
Mark your calendar for our March Roundtable!
Our speaker of the month is Millie Chapman with a talk titled: "From individual decisions to international agreements: Addressing biodiversity loss in an age of algorithms."
Abstract: Artificial intelligence is reshaping our response to global environmental change, shifting not only how we collect and process ecological and earth system data but also how we make and enforce natural resource management decisions. In this talk, I will explore how emerging decision-making algorithms, guided by an ever-growing amount of data on species and ecosystems, can help inform more robust and strategic implementation of multilateral biodiversity policy in the face of uncertainty. Next, I will situate environmental applications of decision-making technologies in broader societal discussions about power dynamics, transparency, and biases in both underlying data and algorithms themselves.
