All organizations need to be able to trust their information and implement proper data and AI foundations.
AI is everywhere, and amplified intelligence can help you reimagine your processes to leverage the technology’s capabilities in augmenting human capacity. By giving people self-service solutions, AI can rehumanize work, allowing us more time to focus on being human instead of spending our lives thinking like machines. The difference between the winners and losers in this transformation will be determined not by whether you have implemented AI, but on how you have, and who you have involved in the process.
In this episode, host Sean Lang is joined by Dr. Richard Benjamins as they review some of the opportunities and issues with using AI for social good. There are a myriad of ways that AI can be used for social good: improving quality of education, alleviating poverty, and aiding in the fight against climate change.
