Machine Learning for Social Good

In my last blog we focussed on some of the problems with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and public trust that can be compounded by organisational issues such as dark data. This time round we're going to look at a couple of examples that demonstrate how AI can be used as a force for good. Over the past few months we have been working with the World Economic Forum (WEF) to test out some of the guidance on AI that we have been drafting with them. There have been a lot of lively debates as the use of AI is clearly divisive, especially when it comes to image processing. If we look at the UK there has been controversy recently over police using facial recognition techniques on CCTV footage to support the fight against crime.
