The dream of artificial intelligence has been alive for about as long as we have had computers, if not longer, and thanks to recent advancements in hardware and machine learning, that dream is now more real than ever. A lot has been made of the potential of AI not only as a business tool but as something that can benefit the entire human race, from curing cancer to improving life for the visually impaired and more. At this year's South by Southwest Interactive conference in Austin, Texas, one of the big trends was AI for social good, and Brian Fanzo, founder and chief executive of iSocialFanz LLC, sat down with theCUBE host John Furrier at the Intel AI Lounge to talk about the role of technology in today's socially conscious landscape. According to Fanzo, the modern consumer has high expectations for what technology can do, and those expectations are shaping the future of the tech industry. "I think today's generation has a bigger megaphone and is not afraid to say what they want," Fanzo said.
