Abstract: The theory and methods being developed for Artificial Intelligence research are empowering human decision-makers to deal with increasingly complex problems in real-world domains of huge societal importance through the use of deep learning, reinforcement learning and game theory. In this talk, I will provide a window into this exciting trend through the lens of Forest Fire Management which includes all the elements of a “wicked problem” including complex dynamics, large datasets, conflicting societal priorities and critical short-term/long-term decision goals.”
