SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Address Poverty-related Issues
DESCRIPTION:Please note: space is limited.  Please apply to attend through the RSVP form\n\nAs the world population continues to rise\, and increasing number of individuals worldwide are finding themselves subjected to failing health systems\, subpar housing\, malnutrition\, and limited or dirty resources.  Even now\, approximately 44% of the world population (worldbank.org) is living below the poverty line - and that is a very low bar at $6.85 per day.  Many researchers and activists across the University are working diligently to identify solutions to the problems faced by these marginalized populations\, but there is more to do.\n\nAt the same time\, AI developments in areas related to Natural Language Processing\, Human Computer Interaction\, and Computer Vision are revolutionizing systems and processes\, and giving us the potential to have a lasting impact while addressing some of these issues.\n\nJoin the Michigan AI Lab and collaborators for a discussion on how to leverage AI-enabled tools and approaches for meaningful social impact.  In this workshop\, we will focus on starting to understand the points of interaction between AI and poverty\, how existing challenges in poverty solutions can inform research directions in AI\, and conversely how AI methods can assist with some of these solutions.  UofM researchers will briefly present on some current topics in poverty\, followed by table discussions with domain experts in both poverty-related issues and AI.\n\nThe aim of this workshop is to bring together thought leaders working for and within these impoverished communities and AI researchers\, to explore new ideas and avenues to combat poverty.  This is a brainstorming session\, so please bring your own topics\, problems\, and innovations to the table.  We hope to discuss possible solutions and to explore new partnerships so that we can together amplify our efforts to address this growing problem.\n\nWith this roundtable conversations\, we aim to:\n\n(1) identify list of challenges and potential paths to solutions\n\n(2) facilitate new collaborations\n\n(3) work together on a white paper identifying a roadmap for this space\n\nWe look forward to seeing you for a lively exchange of knowledge and ideas.
