AI for Social Good

New and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence have the potential to address longstanding societal problems, from economic inequality to unequal access to healthcare. But AI could also widen these divisions without deliberate steps to be more inclusive, and to anticipate and mitigate AI’s potential negative effects. At this roundtable, we will discuss ideas for harnessing AI for the benefit of all.
