There is a preconceived notion that artificial intelligence has predominantly negative implications for human rights. However, artificial intelligence can also positively impact human rights --a point that’s often neglected and not given the attention they deserve. Humanity, Wired host Amy Lehr talks with Sherif Elsayed-Ali, Director of Partnerships at AI for Good, and Element AI, about the positive impacts of AI, and the role of business in this space. Element AI’s AI for Good lab provides dedicated, world class AI and engineering expertise to organizations working for the public benefit. He is also co-chair of the World Economic Forum's global future council on human rights and technology, and a fellow at the Carr Center for Human Rights at Harvard Kennedy School.
