Bias in, bias out: Lessons from the AI training ground
However, improved warnings present a critical tension: how do we meet rising community expectations without unintentionally reinforcing reliance on emergency services? How do we strengthen resilience and shared responsibility while providing clearer, more localised and more actionable information?
This presentation explores how we are navigating that balance. It examines how consequence-based messaging can increase clarity about impacts while reinforcing individual and community agency. It outlines how engagement processes are elevating diverse community voices and are shaping more inclusive communication approaches. It also reflects on lessons from recent flood events about trust, credibility and the role of transparency in public communication.
By sharing practical insights and challenges encountered, this session will offer delegates actionable strategies to enhance warnings while embedding resilience-building principles. Ultimately, leading together means delivering information with integrity - ensuring communities are informed, empowered and active partners in disaster preparedness and recovery.
