Accelerating Disaster Relief Efforts with AI

With lives at stake, and the clock ticking, mastering disaster may be the ultimate AI challenge. Teams from Johns Hopkins University, Lockheed Martin, the U.S. Department of Defense’s Joint Artificial Intelligence Center and NVIDIA Wednesday outlined how they’re working to put AI to work speeding disaster relief to where it’s needed most. The teams spoke about their work at GTC DC, the Washington edition of NVIDIA’s GPU Technology Conference, which brought together more than 3,500 registered attendees — policymakers, business leaders and researchers among them — to discuss and learn about the latest in AI and data science.
