SXSW 2019
Artificial Intelligence for Social Good
Description:
Rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) continue to open up new possibilities for using AI to tackle today's most challenging societal problems. Bringing together a set of advanced AI methods including machine learning, human behavior modeling and citizen science (to name a few) -- and providing a much deeper understanding of these methods -- allows us to address current challenges with an eye toward promoting social good. Learn how AI can be applied in areas such as healthcare, urban planning, social welfare and wildlife protection to help disseminate important health-based information, control traffic, address youth homelessness and control wildlife poaching + product trafficking.
