Whether it’s using prediction modeling for finding the best route on your way to work or having a, albeit possibly imprecise, conversation with Siri or Alexa to remind you to buy more toilet paper, we have almost daily contact with a myriad of technologies. Some applications might seem small or somewhat insignificant, but many of these technologies that we almost take for granted are being used in the real world to help people achieve fantastic things. Advances in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) present an opportunity to build better tools and solutions to help address some of the world’s most pressing challenges and deliver positive social impact.
