  • What happens when AI becomes faster at solving problems than humans are at defining them? As leaders lean on AI for answers, are we losing the deeper understanding that comes from wrestling with the questions? What does this shift mean for data scientists and analytics professionals, whose work shapes the possibilities and risks of these systems? In a world where tools outpace thought, how do we ensure that organizations can adopt AI responsibly and steer it effectively? This talk will challenge us to reimagine what it means to lead in the age of AI.

  • This keynote will showcase the transformative potential of analytics in enabling non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to make a greater impact on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Analytics for a Better World Institute (https://analyticsbetterworld.org/) harnesses and advances cutting-edge analytics techniques to unlock this potential. Through real-world applications, this keynote will illustrate how data-driven solutions are revolutionizing humanitarian and environmental efforts, including:

    1. The optimization of the food supply chain for the World Food Programme (WFP). By leveraging advanced optimization models, WFP is now able to deliver critical food aid to millions more people.
    2. An innovative optimization model for The Ocean Cleanup that strategically steers their vessels to accelerate the removal of plastic from the world’s oceans, contributing to the fight against marine pollution.
    3. Innovative projects to optimize geospatial accessibility to healthcare services, such as optimizing primary healthcare facility locations in Timor-Leste, determining stroke center placements in Vietnam, planning COVID-19 test centers in Nepal, and identifying ideal water well sites in Sudan. These efforts are driven by collaborations with leading organizations such as the World Bank, World Health Organization, Amref, and the American Red Cross.

    In addition to presenting these impactful projects, this keynote will touch on the novel research challenges they have sparked, some of which remain open and ripe for exploration. Critical enablers for analytics to achieve meaningful, scalable impact within the NGO sector will be discussed, setting the stage for further innovation and collaboration.
