AI Can Be Used For Good Or For Evil [Infographic]

In 2017, Google began a project known as PAIR, People AI Research with the goal of of building an AI that truly treats everyone equally.

Today, China has an estimated two hundred million surveillance cameras, about four times as many as in the US.

In the face of AI, many of us may be fearing for our jobs, but many more live in fear of their very lives.
