Assessing the hazard and impact of natural risks – essential for sound land management and for the efficient organisation and planning of civil protection – is an exercise marked by considerable uncertainty. The panel looks at the rapid rise of artificial intelligence in recent years, which has driven significant advances in forecasting and modelling, and asks how it can help to overcome those limitations and improve the management of risk.
