The onset of Coronavirus quickly and effectively crippled the structural integrity of governmental systems across the globe, exposing national systems and throwing public and private institutions into a cloud of confusion. Nations are only just beginning to crawl out of this chaos, which has proven the need for stronger national security protocols and solutions to deal with extreme events like pandemics. Governments have largely been looking towards AI-powered solutions, meaning that the need for responsible and ethical AI implementations has never been greater. In this episode of the series, we dove deeper into the issue of national security and the need for Responsible and Ethical AI solutions, as well as current solutions that are in store, to ease the strain caused by COVID-19.
