Summary: "Understand the real power of AI and embrace this new technology to shape the future for the better AI For Social Good bridges the gap between the current state of reality and the incredible potential of AI to change the world. From humanitarian and environmental concerns to advances in art and science, every area of life stands poised to make a quantum leap into the future. The problem? Too few of us really understand how AI works and how to integrate it into our policies and projects. In this book, Rahul Dodhia, Deputy Director of Microsoft's AI for Good Research Lab, offers a nontechnical exploration of artificial intelligence tools--how they're built, what they can and can't do, and the raw material that teaches them what they "know." Readers will also find an inventory of common challenges they might face when integrating AI into their work. Written for policymakers, project managers, and nontechnical leaders who work alongside AI scientists, AI For Social Good provides an overview of how AI became such an important phenomenon, how AI scientists create artificially intelligent systems, and how AI can be used ethically (or unethically) to transform society. You'll also find a discussion of how governments can become more flexible, helping regulations keep up with the fast pace of change in technology."--
