CIO upfront: A third way with AI

Artificial Intelligence will be central to solving humanity's grand challenges Imagine a world void of antibiotic-resistant superbugs, where those once-invincible critters were no longer given a chance to grow because infection patterns in patients were identified and treated before any symptoms appeared. Or what if safety-critical industries like healthcare or transportation were virtually zero risk, thanks to automated decision making and effective pattern recognition by robotic systems? What if cancer found its cure, crime was accurately intercepted, and democracy was given the tools to empower each and every citizen? And what if this was just a fraction of what AI will offer humanity down the line? The promise of AI is the promise of transformative technology which has unfathomable potential to dramatically improve the lives of millions, if not billions, of humans on planet earth.
