Column: Can artificial intelligence help save democracy?

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is opening a wonderful world of immense possibilities. Such prospects include, for example, helping save the Amazon by forecasting deforestation; automation and job creation through reskilling; mitigating and managing climate change by measuring emissions; boosting the discovery of new drugs; fighting terrorism and transforming national security; and improving criminal justice system and cutting crime rates. AI-based autonomous vehicles -- cars, trucks, buses and drone delivery systems -- are already impacting our lives. By using AI, metropolitan areas could be transformed into smart cities for service delivery, environment planning, power utilization, handling emergencies and much more. These are some of the known and knowable problems that the applications of AI algorithms can solve with greater efficiency.
