When natural disasters strike, every second matters to those on the ground. At Klarety, our mission is to decrease the time between data, understanding, and action for crisis responders. AI will revolutionize this decision making process—identifying damage, routing supplies, and coordinating responders—but decision makers need tools that are transparent and trustworthy before they deploy them in the field. The concerns about the 'black box' of AI are most pressing in the fields where AI could do the most good. Fields like crisis response, where rapid analysis and synthesis of huge amounts of data can save lives. But organizations need to understand the algorithms before they can trust them to save lives.
