An open letter to students who want to change the world – AI4ALL

As you think about what you want to do with your life, at first, a career in artificial intelligence might not be at the top of your list. When you dream of changing the world, it might be hard to connect the dots between building computer models of human intelligence and eliminating hunger or giving individuals the ability to walk again. Maybe you think you'd have to become a coding pro before you can really start solving problems. Or maybe you can't envision a career in artificial intelligence because you have never met anyone like you working in AI. If you have heard anything about AI in the media, it's probably about autonomous vehicles, gaming, or robots taking over the world.
