Reviewed models and scenarios

Model descriptions for Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems are published here once reviewed, with their assumptions, evidence and validation. They describe models; they are not live simulations.

01In brief

The short answer.

Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems reviewed models are published descriptions of the models used in the artificial intelligence field, with their assumptions, data, validation and limits, built on methods such as artificial intelligence and machine learning as well as AI evaluation and assurance engineering. They describe models; they are not live simulations, and no output on them is a finding.

Scoping to review.

Canvas · scoping to reviewDesign, not a record
Reviewed models and scenarios: risk as hazard, exposure and vulnerabilityRisk arises from the interaction of hazard, exposure and vulnerability (sensitivity and adaptive capacity); responses act on each driver and leave a residual risk that is monitored. Design of the process, not a record of a run.

03Geography

Connected activity in East Asia.

For reviewed models and scenarios, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on night lights, true-colour imagery and population density with true colour from NASA GIBS, framed on East Asia; 3 further NASA layers wait in the list.

The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.
