On the compatibility of established methods with emerging artificial intelligence and machine learning methods for disaster risk analysis

扫码查看
There is growing interest in leveraging advanced analytics, including artificial intelligence(AI) and machine learning (ML), for disaster risk analysis (RA) applications.These emerging methods offer unprecedented abilities to assess risk in settings wherethreats can emerge and transform quickly by relying on “learning” through datasets.There is a need to understand these emerging methods in comparison to the moreestablished set of risk assessment methods commonly used in practice. These existingmethods are generally accepted by the risk community and are grounded in useacross various risk application areas. The next frontier in RA with emerging methodsis to develop insights for evaluating the compatibility of those risk methods withmore recent advancements in AI/ML, particularly with consideration of usefulness,trust, explainability, and other factors. This article leverages inputs from RA and AIexperts to investigate the compatibility of various risk assessment methods, includingboth established methods and an example of a commonly used AI-based method for disasterRA applications. This article utilizes empirical evidence from expert perspectivesto support key insights on those methods and the compatibility of those methods. Thisarticle will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in risk-analytics disciplineswho leverage AI/ML methods.
