pAI Hackathon for Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Recovery

As Personal AI technology advances, its potential applications extend far beyond convenience—transforming emergency response, and real-world problem-solving. This talk explores Kwaai’s ongoing work and developing use cases for how pAI can empower individuals, institutions, and communities through intelligent, decentralized AI systems that prioritize privacy, autonomy, and adaptability.

Jon will highlight the work of the Personal AI Hackathon focused on emergency response and fire resilience, where pAI can assist in real-time decision-making, disaster communication, and situational awareness. Leveraging offline-capable, distributed AI, first responders and affected communities can access critical information and coordination tools without being overly reliant on fragile infrastructure services.
