AI For Social Good: Using Artificial Intelligence to Save the World 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 Microsofts AI for Good Research Lab, offers a nontechnical exploration of artificial intelligence tools?how theyre built, what they can and cant 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. You'll also read more on:

The potential for AI to solve longstanding issues and improve lives
Learn how you can tap into the power of AI, regardless of the size of your organization
Gain an understanding of how AI works and how to communicate with AI scientists to create new solutions
Understand the real risks of implementing AI and how to avoid potential pitfalls
Real-life examples and stories that demonstrate how teams of AI specialists, project managers, and subject matter experts can achieve remarkable products.

Written for anyone who is curious about AI, and especially useful for policymakers, project managers, and leaders who work alongside AI, AI For Social Good provides discussions of how AI scientists create artificially intelligent systems, and how AI can be used ethically (or unethically) to transform society. Youll also find a discussion of how governments can become more flexible, helping regulations keep up with the fast pace of change in technology.

An amazing book ...
Format: Paperback
An amazing book. Reading the book helped me understand why the US is experiencing difficulties in "perceived righteousness" today. I would recommend it to anyone who would like to change the World for the better. Howard Zinn is a benevolent hacker: the kind of hacker I would like my children to be, and why not: all children to be. For me, Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States hacks history and defines a problem and offers a solution: 1. The problem: a one-sided patriotic history enslaves the masses, 2. The solution: a bottom-up, humanistic history empowers everyone and opens the doors for future reconciliations among different communities.(1) At this critical juncture of human history both are relevant not only for the US but rather for our race. A one-sided patriotic bias in history: at what cost? 1. hides wrongdoings and the associated guilt, 2. serves as the first line of defense to deflect current & future criticisms for the past & current mistakes, 3. tampers data gathering, silences questioning & divergence of opinions, 4. reduces communication among communities, 5. defines “the patriotic” and increases the chances of populating the armed forces, 6. defines the other: “the unpatriotic,” 7. increases insecurities, 8. evokes fears (of retribution, etc.) 9. can be misused to justify violence against “the other,” 10. builds a common memory for the masses, builds their egos so that these egos can later be exploited, 11. allows the word “culture” to be used as an equivalence: American culture = being American; (2) 12. a politician can mix these facts to incite emotional reactions of the masses and eventually reach a higher number of votes in a predetermined direction, inexpensively, 13. at school, in the media, in speeches of politicians, and during different rituals (starting with reciting the pledge of allegiance and singing of the national anthem) the patriotic history is repeated and reinforced. Under these conditions, the masses learn to repeat what is given to them. They shun away from questioning further. Their concept of free-will is replaced by a misplaced trust. They learn not to deviate from the norm: they are enslaved and are not even aware of this enslavement. Many words lose their meaning: “a more perfect Union” “Justice” “secure the Blessings of Liberty,” “democracy.” A higher degree of cynicism and later a deep feeling of helplessness ensue. There are costs to the individual, the family, the society. Since many worldwide look up to the US morally, the use of one-sided patriotic history in the US produces world leaders who imitate bad examples. Consequently, Humanity pays dearly. A bottom-up, humanistic history empowers everyone: 1. can eliminate ignorance, 2. can eliminate convenient forgetfulness, 3. can eliminate arrogance, 4. improve self-esteem, communication, & understanding 5. can reduce violence, 6. can empower the individuals and the masses: psychologically and economically and thus improve the quality of life, 7. can help the path to sustainable peace. Among the different communities, the wounds are real. A one-sided history often does not address all of these wounds. Denial freezes any possibility of a reconciliation. A reconciliation process would pass through an acceptance of a historical wrong doing. In time, mankind may realize that what Howard Zinn has started may be the building blocks of sustainable peace. As a new year starts, I wish upon all of us: nations, creeds, ethnicities, etc. our very own Howard Zinns. (1) In the US, these communities can be whites, blacks, American Indians, Mexicans, WASPS, Catholics, Jews, Moslems, Chinese, Japanese, etc. In Turkey, where I am from, these communities include the seculars, non-seculars, Alevites, Armenians, Greeks, Jews, Kurds, etc. (2) Most of us are led to believe that “being” American/WASP/Jewish/Moslem/... is a “culture;” we almost always have these attributes thanks to coincidences; i.e. we are born into these “states;” how can a state that is largely a coincidence, be culture? I would suggest that only what is done through our free-will is deemed culture. Interestingly worldwide, the education systems, the media, and politicians use and propagate the word “culture” to imply largely a static state, rather than the result of a willful action.

Great book perfect for history lovers
Format: School & Library Binding
This book is perfect for people who love history in general. Very interesting topic in that it deserts why different cultures became more prominent than others over time. I’m still getting through it, but wanted to write a positive review because I’m enjoying it so much.

Makes you think!
Format: School & Library Binding
Jared Diamond’s Guns, Germs, and Steel is all about figuring out why some societies became super powerful while others didn’t. His main idea is that geography and the environment had a huge impact. Basically, places with good crops and animals to farm had an easier time growing and becoming stronger. The book mixes history, science, and geography in a way that’s pretty easy to follow, even though it covers a lot. Some people think Diamond focuses too much on geography and doesn’t consider enough other factors, but it definitely makes you think differently about history and why the world is the way it is today. It’s a really interesting read if you’re into learning about why things turned out the way they did.

Great book
The narrator possesses a refined and compelling voice, and the author's writing style stimulates the mind. The author uses a tremendous amount of detail to avoid unnecessary/inaccurate generalizations and intentional/unintentional misinterpretations. However, the author executes this feat without allowing the reader to feel lost in mundane facts. I enjoyed the author's use of rhetorical questions to explore the viewpoints of persons who oppose his assertions. Overall, an informative and invigorating read. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has ever asked, "Why did certain people and cultures end up with so much, while others ended up with so little".
