For these reasons the sampling design is built around plots, we call modules, that incorporate a set of sites which represent different natural treatments in order to capture local variability. On one hand we have control sites with proven high IE values, which represent the condition of an ecosystem with little or no anthropogenic impact; and on the other hand sites with average integrity values. This is achieved through a standardized “matched pairs design” in which as pristine as possible and degraded sites are contrasted, controlling by ecosystem. It should be noted that the two of the three monitoring techniques employed at SiPeCaM samping sites are passive: camera traps and autonomous sound recorders are to be used to capture ecologically meaningful Big Data in the form of digital images, videos, audible (20 Hz to 20 kHz) and ultrasonic (above 20 kHz) sound files. This volume of data are subsequentally processed by means of (deep) machine learning to produce information. Species identification in photographs, potentially animal behaviour in videos, species identification in sound (e.g. birds, insects and bats) and also the detection of anthropogenic sounds (trucks, gunshots, chainsaws).

This led to the publication of 14 background research papers on different topics ranging from agile governance, cybersecurity, geopolitics, explainability, international development, sustainability, and more. These research papers were informed by the organization of almost 90 expert calls, which also helped architect the agenda for a full-day Round-table workshop with 4 working sessions and 47 subcommittees. This combined community building, research, and agenda-setting effort were done in partnership with a host of prestigious international organizations including the OECD, UNESCO, IEEE, the Council on Extended Intelligence, and the Global Data Commons Task Force. After providing each partner-organization with a platform to meet and advance its own goals and initiatives on AI policy during two days ahead of the World Government Summit (WGS), the Global Governance of AI Forum culminated into a one-day big Roundtable Collective intelligence Workshop held on the first day of Summit. The Roundtable was designed as a prolongation of the collective intelligence effort initiated during preparation.

Building upon the first edition of held in February 2018, the 2019 edition began in August with an intensive six-months preparation and curation period. The community of participants was brought together through regular video conferences with the objective of shaping the 2019 agenda and driving the research effort managed in parallel by our team of AI Policy Researchers. This led to the publication of 14 background research papers on different topics ranging from agile governance, cybersecurity, geopolitics, explainability, international development, sustainability, and more. These research papers were informed by the organization of almost 90 expert calls, which also helped architect the agenda for a full-day Round-table workshop with 4 working sessions and 47 subcommittees. This combined community building, research, and agenda-setting effort were done in partnership with a host of prestigious international organizations including the OECD, UNESCO, IEEE, the Council on Extended Intelligence, and the Global Data Commons Task Force. After providing each partner-organization with a platform to meet and advance its own goals and initiatives on AI policy during two days ahead of the World Government Summit (WGS), the Global Governance of AI Forum culminated into a one-day big Roundtable Collective intelligence Workshop held on the first day of Summit. The Roundtable was designed as a prolongation of the collective intelligence effort initiated during preparation. It had no panels, no keynotes; only curated breakout sessions to maximize productivity and outcome.

Building upon the first edition of held in February 2018, the 2019 edition began in August with an intensive six-months preparation and curation period. The community of participants was brought together through regular video conferences with the objective of shaping the 2019 agenda and driving the research effort managed in parallel by our team of AI Policy Researchers. This led to the publication of 14 background research papers on different topics ranging from agile governance, cybersecurity, geopolitics, explainability, international development, sustainability, and more. These research papers were informed by the organization of almost 90 expert calls, which also helped architect the agenda for a full-day Round-table workshop with 4 working sessions and 47 subcommittees. This combined community building, research, and agenda-setting effort were done in partnership with a host of prestigious international organizations including the OECD, UNESCO, IEEE, the Council on Extended Intelligence, and the Global Data Commons Task Force. After providing each partner-organization with a platform to meet and advance its own goals and initiatives on AI policy during two days ahead of the World Government Summit (WGS), the Global Governance of AI Forum culminated into a one-day big Roundtable Collective intelligence Workshop held on the first day of Summit.
