AI, Water, and Wildfires: The New Frontlines

Together with our partners at IBM, we launched the first in a series of case study reports featuring winning cases from our Future Shocks Challenge Grant competition at our 2024 Fall Meeting.

We will be launching the second report in the series at this upcoming thought leadership event. This event is latest of our ongoing Future Shocks research initiative where we engage with leaders from government, industry, and academia to identify specific, practical, and actionable steps that governments can take to prepare for and respond to global shocks.

Panelists will share insights from their winning case study submissions highlighting innovation, community engagement, and utilization of technology in building resilience.

The second round of the Future Shocks Challenge Grant competition is currently open to submissions. If you would like to learn more or submit a case study, please click here.
