‘Defense In Depth Approach’ Crucial For AI Integration In Calamity-Prone Philippines’ Disaster Management
The Philippines has “relatively strong” Internet connectivity and smartphone adoption, which are important factors to help the country in utilizing AI-enabled disaster management services, Daniel Castro, vice president of think tanks network the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) and director of the ITIF’s Center for Data Innovation, told International Business Times.
On the other hand, Castro noted that since there were “various data sources involved” in AI training for disaster management, a stronger strategy was needed to validate data more closely.
A “human-in-the-loop”—wherein people interfere at different stages of the AI training process to ensure that data collected and stored was accurate—was an option, Castro said, but humans can make mistakes too.
