Abstract:

Artificial intelligence is a present-day force reshaping how we care for people and how we defend the integrity of information. In this talk, we explore two complementary frontiers where AI moves us from reactive to proactive postures. First, we introduce Viva Bem, a Hub for Artificial Intelligence on Health and Well-being dedicated to turning reactive healthcare into proactive solutions. We discuss how AI, coupled with wearable sensing, can help address anxiety, high blood pressure, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, sedentarism, and elder care, anticipating problems rather than merely responding to them. Second, we turn to digital forensics and its much-needed alliance with AI. Offering a panoramic view of the last ten years, we trace the field's evolution from basic computer vision and simple NLP toward powerful AI-driven methods, covering tampering detection, fact-checking, authorship analysis, and recent advances in self-supervised learning for large-scale forensic search. Across both domains, one question remains: AI is here to stay, how do we best leverage it to protect, empower, and uplift our society?
