Klappentext
PRAISE FOR AI FOR SOCIAL GOOD"An inspiring overview of what machine learning and artificial intelligence can already do to make the world better, and what can be done to use these tools more effectively."
--ANDREW GELMAN, Professor of Statistics and Political Science, Columbia University
"Rahul Dodhia's book AI for Social Good is a comprehensive exploration of this transformative field, which for technologically challenged, non-experts like myself, brilliantly demystifies this exciting field. It leaves you with the hope that AI will be harnessed for the good of the planet, and used ethically and responsibly. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding AI's past, and present as well as its profound influence on the future of humanity on planet Earth."
--LOUISE LEAKEY, Paleoanthropologist, Turkana Basin Institute, Kenya
"A highly accessible whirlwind tour of how AI works, what it can and cannot do, and why it sometimes goes off the rails. You will find inspirational stories on how AI can be used for good, and cautionary tales that temper your hubris. Bringing his considerable experience to bear, Dodhia's compelling nuts-and-bolts discussion of how to set up teams that make the most of this potentially transformative technology is a must-read. This book has something in it for everyone seeking to understand and make the most of this rapidly evolving tool."
--JACOB N. SHAPIRO, Director, Empirical Studies of Conflict Project, Princeton University
"Just as the dawn of the nuclear age simultaneously shaped our hopes and our greatest fears for the future of the planet in the last century, so too for artificial intelligence in our century. The world's deeply vulnerable environment and its communities are at a crossroad: one path leading to ecosystem collapse triggering extreme poverty and violence, the other towards balance and recovery. Our ability and determination to choose the right path is profoundly linked to the choices we make on the use of this nascent technology. In his writing, Rahul provides the critical thinking to channel our choices on the use of AI into a force for long overdue positive change."
--EMMANUEL DE MERODE, Director of Virunga National Park
"A compelling book that explores the responsible use of AI as a force for positive and transformative change. It offers a valuable guide for those interested in leveraging AI to tackle the urgent challenges of our time. In an era where AI is both celebrated and met with significant apprehension, AI for Social Good serves as a great guide, offering practical advice, real-world examples, and a compelling vision for harnessing AI to address our most pressing challenges. An invaluable resource for anyone navigating the rapidly evolving AI landscape in the pursuit of societal betterment and serves as a resounding call to action, encouraging individuals to become part of the movement for positive change."
--INBAL BECKER-RESHEF, Program Director of NASA Harvest
