How Real People Are Using Artificial Intelligence to Fix Things That Matter
Interview with Josh Tyrangiel about his book AI for Good: How Real People Are Using Artificial Intelligence to Fix Things That Matter. Discusses examples of using AI to solve problems: a professor trying to understand her nonverbal son, a general who delivered millions of Covid vaccines in 2021, and a hospital CEO trying to reduce the rate of deadly infections. Explains where AI is helping to reduce hospital infections (and where it’s struggling); why distributing the covid vaccine was almost as hard as creating it; why convincing people to use AI is often the hardest problem to solve; and why we should use nuclear weapons as a model for regulating AI.
