Applying AI for social good is not as far-fetched as it might seem. It could increase training and education of students and adults, reduce blight, improve policing, and more. There are many options. Let's take a look at some. Let's first define "social good."
Coherence
Although it is obvious that coherence in social science is an issue, the question whether AI can benefit society must not be ignored. As Rohin Shah has pointed out, advanced AI is largely goal-directed, so it will tend to choose options that are strictly better for society than other options. This is because algorithms have been designed to make the best decisions, which is a reasonable assumption.
As an example, we can think of the assistant-bot. The Assistantbot's behavior is to give away money in exchange for nothing. The Assistant-Bot would prefer to receive nothing than to give money away. But it wants to avoid ongoing exchanges of money. Its preferences are the key to influencing its behavior, so it is important to change them in a way that leads to greater coherence.
Transparency
The question of AI transparency is one of the most controversial topics in the AI for Social Good field. While AI transparency is crucial to the development of good AI tools, complete transparency can inhibit innovation. Companies might want to protect their competitive advantage and keep malicious actors away from their AI tools in order not to lose their business model. Companies may be interested in protecting their AI tools' trade secrets, such as Google's PageRank and Amazon's ML powered recommendation system.
AI transparency can help people show sincerity and compassion. Restaurant hosts can use AI to assist customers. They will be able distinguish real customers from AI assistants. Moreover, real people will receive preferential treatment. This is essential in a world that is already tough enough. Let's all be compassionate even when AI is used to benefit the common good. Artificial intelligence's future depends on our ability and willingness to show kindness towards people.
Falsifiability
Artificial intelligence is the future of human-computer interactions. It is based on a false notion of what a man is. However, the notion of "human" is far from obsolete. The growing field of artificial intelligence research, design, and platforms must become more deeply intertwined with the arts and humanities if it is to contribute to social justice and flourishing.
AI4SG faces two major challenges in designing AI for social purpose. The first is that AI software is shaped by human values. It may be criticized if good AI fails accurately to identify tumours. IBM's Oncology-support Software failed to detect cancerous tumours in a case study. This was rejected by doctors.
Trustworthiness
Although AI is still in its infancy, recent research suggests that it may have significant benefits for social good. ElementAI, Amnesty International, and ElementAI have demonstrated how AI can be used for measuring online abuse of women. A research group at Makerere University has developed a system to monitor viral cassava diseases. They collaborate with Microsoft Research and other academic groups to create an electronic market for Ugandan agricultural products.
What makes an AI trustworthy though? It must be as robust, reliable, and as secure as traditional systems. It must be available when it's supposed to and produce consistent outputs, even in the most unlikely of circumstances. It must be robust and scale well, even as its impact increases. It must fail in predictable and predictable ways. This will allow humans to monitor and inspect the performance of AI. There are many factors that make AI trustworthy for social good.
FAQ
Why is AI used?
Artificial intelligence (computer science) is the study of artificial behavior. It can be used in practical applications such a robotics, natural languages processing, game-playing, and other areas of computer science.
AI can also be referred to by the term machine learning. This is the study of how machines learn and operate without being explicitly programmed.
AI is widely used for two reasons:
-
To make our lives simpler.
-
To be better than ourselves at doing things.
Self-driving car is an example of this. We don't need to pay someone else to drive us around anymore because we can use AI to do it instead.
Is AI possible with any other technology?
Yes, but still not. Many technologies have been created to solve particular problems. None of these technologies can match the speed and accuracy of AI.
How will governments regulate AI
Although AI is already being regulated by governments, there are still many things that they can do to improve their regulation. They need to make sure that people control how their data is used. Companies shouldn't use AI to obstruct their rights.
They need to make sure that we don't create an unfair playing field for different types of business. Small business owners who want to use AI for their business should be allowed to do this without restrictions from large companies.
What is the role of AI?
An algorithm is a sequence of instructions that instructs a computer to solve a problem. An algorithm can be expressed as a series of steps. Each step has a condition that dictates when it should be executed. A computer executes each instructions sequentially until all conditions can be met. This continues until the final results are achieved.
For example, let's say you want to find the square root of 5. You could write down each number between 1-10 and calculate the square roots for each. Then, take the average. That's not really practical, though, so instead, you could write down the following formula:
sqrt(x) x^0.5
This means that you need to square your input, divide it with 2, and multiply it by 0.5.
This is how a computer works. It takes your input, multiplies it with 0.5, divides it again, subtracts 1 then outputs the result.
How does AI impact the workplace
It will change our work habits. We can automate repetitive tasks, which will free up employees to spend their time on more valuable activities.
It will enhance customer service and allow businesses to offer better products or services.
This will enable us to predict future trends, and allow us to seize opportunities.
It will give organizations a competitive edge over their competition.
Companies that fail to adopt AI will fall behind.
Which industries use AI most frequently?
The automotive industry is one of the earliest adopters AI. For example, BMW AG uses AI to diagnose car problems, Ford Motor Company uses AI to develop self-driving cars, and General Motors uses AI to power its autonomous vehicle fleet.
Other AI industries are banking, insurance and healthcare.
