This year began with devastation caused by natural fiascos in the form of wildfires in my home state of California. The tragedy unfolded as the dry conditions and extreme, hurricane-strength wind burned and gutted tens of millions of dollars of mansions and vegetation in Los Angeles and the surrounding area. Lives were lost, communities were devastated and memories were stolen. Celebrities or commoners, no one was spared. As the climate change scenarios manifest in several ways, such devastations during a supposedly rainy season of the state made me wonder whether, as humans, we could harness our newfound strengths of artificial intelligence (AI) to deploy in both preventing and tackling such disasters more effectively. This column will discuss some of those thoughts and considerations – it is an increasingly important topic for all. Although we want to safeguard human society from the potential harm that AI can cause, like many in this field, I would like to leverage the sheer power of this technology for human benefit. Healthcare and Human Services is my area of work, my mission and my passion. AI is my new direction. I am increasingly passionate about converging these two streams of inspiration into one cohesive and impactful innovation.
