#AFPLwouf23 panelist Julianne Quinn “There are always tradeoffs. How do we manage the system for total societal benefit?” Her point is that there is no one answer to this question because there are many visions for what “total societal benefit” looks like.

#AFPLwouf23 panelist Karen Hutchinson on the importance of #transparency in decision-making around what happens in extreme situations (drought, or flood). Very relevant – both for policy making, but also for algorithmic design of relevance to these systems.
