One more video made to support an article on "Hybrid Consciousness" written by Nick Kouzos and published on site "timesforchange" on wordPress. This particular video is one that best demonstrates how Artificial Intelligence collaborates with humans in Local government under crisis. This part of a section that demonstrates in a theatrical way the way AI supports many professions expanding human competences and not replacing them
Transcript
00:12The storm is approaching.
00:17Storm is coming.
00:19The forecasts are becoming more and more worrying.
00:27This is another video that describes the collaboration of artificial intelligence with professionals
00:32with greater demands, mainly in the Phi equals public sector of local government, such as
00:39the mayor or the prefect, in a moment of crisis, such as a serious flood.
00:45Some decisions change the lives of a few people.
00:50Others change the course of an entire city.
00:54A large city is at risk of a catastrophic flood.
00:58Radar.
00:59Data changes every minute.
01:02The first signs of problems on neighborhood streets appear.
01:05Escape not.
01:07Which area should be evacuated first?
01:09Some decisions change the lives of a few people.
01:15Other change the course of an entire city.
01:20The city is at risk of a catastrophic flood.
01:23The first warning signs are here.
01:26Main roads are already flooding.
01:28Cars are being swept away.
01:30Mayor's office.
01:31The mayor convenes the crisis management team in person and on video call.
01:36The crisis management team includes engineers, meteorologists, the police, the civil protection
01:43services.
01:44Everyone speaks at the same time.
01:46No one is sure how to respond to the crisis.
01:51The engineers refer to the resilience of the infrastructure.
01:55The meteorologists refer to the expected developments.
02:00The police to the risks of illegality.
02:03The army refers to the available means.
02:07Hospitals clarify the problems in possible evacuations, patient transport, but also problems with power cuts.
02:15Economists warn about the available cash and sources.
02:17Time is running out.
02:18The rain continues.
02:20The river rises.
02:21The decision must be made now.
02:27The mayor has access to artificial intelligence which will help him present the results of simulations of hundreds of possible
02:32scenarios.
02:33An artificial intelligence system is activated that can listen and speak as well to provide visual tables, reports and visuals
02:46from cameras in the area and satellite.
02:50The artificial intelligence remains silent for the moment.
02:54It is informed about the current situation.
02:57It knows why it was called.
02:59It starts working immediately.
03:03It searches for data.
03:06Satellite images.
03:07Meteorological models.
03:09Maps.
03:10Elevation data of the area.
03:12Traffic.
03:13Hospitals.
03:13Schools.
03:15Population.
03:15The Mayor.
03:17Tell me from the data you have, what is the meteorological situation, where we are and listen to the latest
03:23information we have at the moment.
03:25The narrator.
03:26The attendees selectively provide last minute information regarding vehicles, tractors, personnel, as well as requests from the call center.
03:36Traffic on the main arteries is blocked.
03:39Instructions from the government.
03:41Situation in the hospital and schools.
03:44Then, artificial intelligence.
03:47Compares.
03:48Combines.
03:50Disputes.
03:51Creates hundreds of different scenarios for its own information.
03:55Selects and promotes information.
03:59What are the vulnerable areas, neighborhoods, infrastructure, projects in progress that will be affected?
04:06What will happen if a vulnerable area or building is evacuated?
04:12What will happen if the storm lasts another six hours?
04:20Mayor.
04:21What will happen if the area where there are two elementary schools is evacuated?
04:26Artificial intelligence.
04:28There is only one exit for large vehicles.
04:31It will close in one hour.
04:33Map of escape routes.
04:35Mayor.
04:36What will happen if some areas are not evacuated?
04:39Artificial intelligence.
04:41The only safe place is the area at an altitude of over 200 meters where the camp and a shoe
04:47factory are located.
04:49Mayor.
04:50Is the factory accessible by buses?
04:52Give your opinion for a practical solution.
04:56Artificial intelligence.
04:58The area is only accessible by trucks and military vehicles, not buses.
05:05Vehicles.
05:06Mayor.
05:07What will happen if certain main roads in the city center are closed?
05:12Artificial intelligence.
05:14Only tractors can be used for the next two hours.
05:17Only tractors can be used for the next two hours.
05:18After that, it will be impossible until the rain stops and the waters recede, which will take about 24 hours.
05:25The mayor.
05:27Let's try a different scenario.
05:35The mayor.
05:50Let's try a different scenario.
05:53Artificial intelligence.
05:54There is a way to transport residents of vulnerable neighborhoods as long as access is ensured to the railway line,
06:02which remains open.
06:03The mayor.
06:05Excellent.
06:06Comrade.
06:07Let's coordinate with the army and the railways to implement this plan in case the plague continues.
06:14The narrator.
06:16The artificial intelligence shows results, not one answer, but many possible developments, rural areas.
06:26For each option, it shows the advantages, the risks.
06:31The mayor.
06:33Will the bridge hold?
06:34One bridge collapses.
06:37The dam.
06:38How many lives are at risk if the dam breaks?
06:42Artificial intelligence.
06:43I don't have data, but from parallels of similar cases, there will be drownings in 2% of the human
06:50population and 10% of the animal population.
06:54Mayor.
06:55Is there a need to evacuate the hospital patients?
06:59Patient.
07:00Artificial intelligence.
07:01No, but there is a risk of surgery interruption due to unknown power restoration time.
07:09Possible evacuation of patients under discussion.
07:12Mayor.
07:15Can you notify hotels in the wider area with audio messages about their readiness to accept families and to give
07:23you availability for the next 10 days?
07:26Artificial intelligence.
07:27It already exists due to interest from residents of the area.
07:31The availability list is already available due to public inquiry.
07:36The meteorologist looks at the screen.
07:38Narrator.
07:38Later.
07:39No one speaks.
07:41Because everyone knows.
07:43That no machine can evaluate human life in relation to the economy, social cohesion or citizen response.
07:55The mayor.
07:56What changes, to expect, if we assume that the rain continues longer?
08:02What is the forecast?
08:04Artificial intelligence.
08:06Look at the weather forecast and warnings on the board.
08:10The mayor.
08:11Is there a safer option?
08:12Narrator.
08:14The system simulates new scenarios.
08:17The dialogue continues.
08:19It is not a man against a machine.
08:22Mayor.
08:24Is the factory accessible by buses?
08:26Give your opinion for a practical solution.
08:29Artificial intelligence.
08:31The area is only accessible by trucks and military vehicles, not buses.
08:37Vehicles.
08:37Mayor.
08:39What will happen if certain main roads in the city center are closed?
08:44Artificial intelligence.
08:45Only tractors can be used for the next two hours.
08:49After that, it will be impossible until the rain stops and the waters recede, which will take about 24 hours.
08:59He is a man who thinks along with a new tool.
09:02The mayor.
09:03Give me more information.
09:05New alternatives in case the bad weather continues.
09:08Escape route map.
09:10Will the available resources and personnel be sufficient?
09:14What is the strength and the reliability of the second bridge?
09:18Artificial intelligence.
09:20The available personnel are sufficient to transport the vulnerable neighborhoods to the camp,
09:25but not for the patients of the hospital.
09:28I take it for granted that the schools will remain closed until further notice.
09:32The same goes for the shops.
09:35The second bridge is safe, but not the dam, which has exceeded its strength limits by 20%, and the chances
09:42of collapse are 10%.
09:44The second bridge remains stable for now.
09:47Of the dam.
09:49Narrator.
09:50Mayor reflects on the future.
09:53Mayor.
09:54How much will the damage of agricultural production will cost?
09:58Rural area.
09:59Artificial intelligence.
10:01The damage.
10:02This year will be total loss and is estimated to be at 10 million euros.
10:08The second year you will have to change crops, provided that you will have repaired the dam, which will cost
10:13around 2 million euros.
10:15How is the main artery connecting the area to other centers affected?
10:20Risk Management Center.
10:22The Command Center.
10:23The narrator.
10:24The final decision is made.
10:28It was not made by artificial intelligence.
10:31It was made by man, but never before.
10:35Has any man been able to examine?
10:38So many possibilities in a few minutes.
10:45The city is saved.
10:46The rain stops.
10:48The sun rises.
10:53Perhaps the greatest revolution of artificial intelligence is not that machines will decide for man.
11:00Perhaps it is that man will be able to examine more possibilities before making his own decision.
11:08The city is saved.
11:10The rain stops.
11:12The sun rises.
11:17Man in front of the mirror.
11:19The reflection does not change.
11:22What changes is the way he thinks.
11:28Hybrid consciousness.
11:31The hybrid decision-making process is the real hybrid.
