Google pledges $25 million in new AI challenge amidst controversial military work

[minamicruiser]

From CNET
The contest is called the AI Global Impact Challenge, and the company has pledged $25 million in grants.

The challenge is part of a new Google initiative called "AI for Social Good." Google says the program is meant to help solve big, pressing problems, like issues around crisis relief, environmental conservation or sex trafficking. But it also comes at a time when Google has been under increased scrutiny over how its own artificial intelligence could be used, including in controversial military work or reported efforts to build a censored search engine in China.

AI has the potential to improve people's lives but a lot of people also consider the threat that it could bring to humanity. In the end, I think it whether it will be good or bad will depend on the people who are going to code it.

Conservatives need to catch up in the tech market. Whatever Google does will have a liberal bias to it.
