So, you know about the benefits of AI for business -- how it can reduce time spent on manual tasks, improve data-driven decision-making, and allow humans to focus on strategic business initiatives. But have you considered AI for social impact? Initiatives like IBM's Science for Social Good, in which the company partnered with 19 NGO and government agencies, are accelerating the pace of problem-solving to improve global challenges and positively impact human livelihood, while positively influencing business. The cost of computation and the volume of inputs required to solve vast problems using this powerful technology is more affordable and practical than ever before. "AI for good" is becoming an increasingly strategic priority for business and the public sector -- which need each other (and technology) to solve the world's most complex problems.
