AI for Social Good

Abstract

The imminent AI ‘tsunami’ led by Generative AI (ChatGPT, 2023) will be hugely disruptive for business and society. However, it also offers pioneering opportunities for social good, notably personalized education/training for socially excluded and disadvantaged groups (e.g., people in prison, people on probation, refugees, long term unemployed, low-aspiration and disadvantaged young people in education), thereby transforming their future and addressing major social problems. The UK has over 80,000 prisoners and education is the best deterrent to reoffending, which costs £18bn ($23b) pa (UK Parliament, 2022).
