SEE HOW MICROSOFT'S AI FOR GOOD LAB IS TRANSFORMING THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER WITH AI
AI for Good: Applications in Sustainability, Humanitarian Action, and Health is an incisive and fascinating new look at how professionals at the Microsoft AI for Good Lab are tackling age-old, global problems with cutting edge new tech. Authors Juan Lavista Ferres and Bill Weeks discuss some of the existential problems of our era--including illness and disease, climate change, sustainability, emergency preparedness and response, inaccessibility, and disinformation--and show you replicable methods for tackling these issues.
In the book, you'll learn what AI is and how it works before you dive into real-world applications of the technology. You'll also examine where the future is taking us, as the authors discuss the possible and likely applications of artificial intelligence to tomorrow's problems. Finally, the book offers replicable methods that end-users can employ as they address social problems themselves.
A can't-miss roadmap to impactful social change with AI, AI for Good is an indispensable resource for both technical and non-technical professionals, policymakers, regulators, professionals working at non-governmental organizations, and nonprofit directors and volunteers.
