Monica Sanders, an associate professor of sociology and criminal justice at the University of Delaware, will discuss “AI, Big (or Bespoke) Data and Disasters." Using big data and current technology is increasingly becoming part of the practice of emergency and disaster management. It is part of the climate change mitigation and adaptation conversation. With respect to marginalized populations, there are flaws in the way technologies are designed and how data is collected that have negative, disparate impacts on these groups. To ensure that the agencies and organizations that increasingly rely on a variety of data sources and typologies are able to leverage them effectively and equitably, we need to examine their evolution and the core issues around their ethical use.
