 n improve decision-making in emergency response, shouldn’t we first u
 nderstand how humans make decisions to begin with?\n\nSince the time that t
 he use of data in emergency response scenarios has become mainstream, it ha
 s been advertised as the tool to improve decision-making. It didn’t t
 ake long to realize that the growth of information available was causing pr
 oblems by itself. Now AI is looked at as a solution to this information ove
 rflow problem.\n\nThe data is there to support emergency responders to gain
  situational awareness in turn to make better decisions, but what is situat
 ional awareness, how is it developed in the human brain, and what are the b
 arriers to gaining good situational awareness? The neurological process of 
 perceiving, understanding, and predicting what will happen in any given sit
 uation is what develops situational awareness. This process is supported by
  the mental models gained during training which help in gaining situational
  awareness.\n\nThere is a huge gap between the technological aspects of usi
 ng AI, and the human factors that come into play when emergency responders 
 need to operate in high-risk, high-consequence time-compressed environments
 .\n\nThis presentation will cover the challenges that lie ahead when we tru
 ly want to support emergency responders with AI to improve decision-making.
  Along the way, we will talk about a couple of elephants in the room.\n
