Discover how AI leaders and researchers are using AI to transform the world for the better.
In AI for Good: Applications in Sustainability, Humanitarian Action, and Health, a team of veteran Microsoft AI researchers delivers an insightful and fascinating discussion of how one of the world's most recognizable software companies is tacking intractable social problems with the power of artificial intelligence (AI). In the book, you'll learn about how climate change, illness and disease, and challenges to fundamental human rights are all being fought using replicable methods and reusable AI code.
We intend for this book to be available to a broad audience, in particular, those without expertise in Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning.
To make the book more accessible to that audience, we have purposely avoided including too many technical details of the studies. We have avoided the use of mathematical formulae and equations. Interested readers can find those in the references at the end of each chapter.
Nonetheless, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning tools have their own language and applications and limitations; studies applying Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning have common processes, practices, and terms. Therefore, in the following chapters, we provide a primer that defines Artificial Intelligence in lay terms, describes the applications and limitations of Artificial Intelligence, provides a brief glossary of commonly used practices and terms used in the application of Artificial Intelligence, and presents an overview of the structure that we applied to each of the chapters.
The authors also provide:
Easy-to-follow, non-technical explanations of what AI is and how it works
Examinations of how healthcare is being improved, climate change is being addressed, and humanitarian aid is being facilitated around the world with AI
Discussions of the future of AI in the realm of social benefit organizations and efforts
An essential guide to impactful social change with artificial intelligence, AI for Good is a must-read resource for technical and non-technical professionals interested in AI's social potential, as well as policymakers, regulators, NGO professionals, and, and non-profit volunteers.
