• Title: Panel: Economic Policy and Governance during Pandemics using AI
• Authors: Feras A. Batarseh and Munisamy Gopinath
• Abstract summary: Outlier events create uncertainty along the entire supply chain in addition to intervening policy responses to mitigate their adverse effects. Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods provide an opportunity to better understand outcomes during outlier events. Employing AI can provide guidance to decision making suppliers, farmers, processors, wholesalers, and retailers along the supply chain.

• Abstract: The global food supply chain (starting at farms and ending with consumers) has been seriously disrupted by many outlier events such as trade wars, the China demand shock, natural disasters, and pandemics. Outlier events create uncertainty along the entire supply chain in addition to intervening policy responses to mitigate their adverse effects. Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods (i.e. machine/reinforcement/deep learning) provide an opportunity to better understand outcomes during outlier events by identifying regular, irregular and contextual components. Employing AI can provide guidance to decision making suppliers, farmers, processors, wholesalers, and retailers along the supply chain, and policy makers to facilitate welfare-improving outcomes. This panel discusses these issues.

  Much of this debate has concentrated on direct impact without addressing the significant indirect effects. This paper examines how the problem of Jevons' Paradox applies to AI, whereby efficiency gains may paradoxically spur increased consumption. We argue that understanding these second-order impacts requires an interdisciplinary approach, combining lifecycle assessments with socio-economic analyses.

There is a lack of consensus about how exactly such risks arise, and how to manage them. Present governance initiatives lack the mechanisms and institutions to prevent misuse and recklessness, and barely address autonomous systems.
