In the second episode on ACAPS' participation in the Tech to the Rescue AI Bootcamp for Changemakers (aka from ACAPS to AICAPS) Chiara, Ali and Lars Peter discuss the progress made over the past couple of weeks. Since the first episode focus has been on using design methods to come up with a clearer approach to AI. This part of the bootcamp has been facilitated by the legendary design company IDEO.

Ali, Chiara and Lars Peter agree that they have learned and that their thinking has shifted significantly over the course of the bootcamp, but they don't agree on what they want to do or whether ACAPS is in good shape or not when it comes to AI.

Cassandra was the Trojan priestess described in Homer's Iliad condemned to have prophecies that are never believed.

Dennis King, a veteran analyst with over 30 years of experience in the Humanitarian Information Unit of the US State Department, USAID, and OCHA, is in a sense a modern day Cassandra. Together with host Lars Peter Nissen, they unravel the transformation of information management in the humanitarian sector. They discuss the gains and losses brought by technological advances, what can be learned from the cultural contrasts between humanitarian and intelligence communities, and the new chaos paradigm. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in Cassandra’s predictions for the future of humanitarian analysis.
