For the second episode in the #RFBreakthrough series, The Rockefeller Foundation hosted a live stream discussion on how we can use artificial intelligence as a force for good during the pandemic and beyond, while also exploring the need for a regulatory framework to ensure its responsible use.
Using the AI+1 Report to kick start the conversation, the panelists discussed how AI can help rebalance and reset the future in a way that addresses current inequities. To bring this conversation to life, speakers highlighted real-life examples from their work and answered questions live from the audience.
