Water security in its simplest form means society having access to enough freshwater of sufficient quality to support the health of both people and planet. In our research with leading water NGO, Waterwise, we have produced the Water Security & Solutions Indicator to better understand the global picture. The Indicator compares the levels of water availability and water solutions readiness across nine countries. By sharing expert recommendations and case studies of best practice, we outline how organizations and individuals can drive positive change. Explore the Water Security & Solutions Indicator in Thirst for Change: Accelerating progress to a water secure world. https://gag.gl/QJjVk6 #Thirstforchange #Water #WaterSecurity #Wateravailability #Sustainability"

The facial recognition technology (FRT) industry is expected to be worth $13.4 billion globally by 2028. As the use of AI in FRT becomes increasingly common, including for security purposes such as at major sporting events like football matches and to curb shoplifting, there is an opportunity to build the much needed trust to support its adoption. Research shows 77% of people believe trust in AI is key for facial recognition use in surveillance. To help organizations navigate these tools and build public trust, BSI has launched new guidance for the safe and ethical use of facial recognition tools. It aims to embed best practice and give guidance on the appropriate guardrails organizations can put in place to safeguard civil rights and eliminate system bias and discrimination.

It will be important to balance the availability and quality of care as digital technologies enable medical professionals to diagnose, treat, and oversee health virtually. Digital healthcare technology, like cloud-connected wearables, is helping healthcare organizations deliver more equitable healthcare across communities. However, the increasing adoption of remote patient monitoring and digital devices raises concerns about cybersecurity risks and care quality. Expertise and best practice will be key for organizations looking to make the most out of these new technologies, while safeguarding their patient’s data and privacy.

57% of people globally say vulnerable consumers need protections to ensure they can benefit from AI. History has shown us that emerging technologies – from cars to computers and smartphones – can bring enormous benefits to our lives. Having robust governance frameworks in place can help accelerate adoption and build greater trust. Developing consensus on what good practice can look like when we use AI can help us to ensure that AI benefits, rather than disrupts, society and becomes a force for good. Sahar Danesh, Senior Government Engagement Manager, explores how international collaboration can help shape trust in AI so everyone can realize the benefits of innovation. https://lnkd.in/enXtXmSS https://lnkd.in/eKpG-xn6 #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #SocietyFiveZero #forceforgood #DigitalTrust

Artificial intelligence’s (AI) knowledge is not innate; it learns information and develops processes needed to perform its role and bring benefit. It works best when it blends human expertise with a computer that’s learning. Like a child going through education, AI can learn and gain deep domain knowledge. For instance, in the case of computer vision, AI may be able to detect manufacturing defects in a product that a human eye can’t see, but first, the AI must be taught what to look for. Out-of-the-box software may know basic processes and information, but organizations that understand how to teach AI the specifics for specialist tasks will accelerate its successful application.

For AI to be a powerful force for good, trust in its application is critical. Following research showing 61% want global guidelines for the technology, the first AI management system standard is designed to empower organizations to responsibly manage and integrate the technology, in turn offering the opportunity to harness AI to accelerate progress. BSI is pleased to support responsible AI management with a new package of measures, including algorithm testing and certification to the new management system standard enabling safe, secure and responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across society.
