AI for good: 3 uplifting videos to brighten your day
In my professional capacity, I regularly engage with businesses to discuss how they can harness the power of artificial intelligence to enhance their operational processes, with a particular emphasis on cost reduction and quantitative metrics.
Recently, a client inquired about notable instances where AI has positively impacted people's lives. In response, I provided her with relevant examples as part of a follow-up communication:
Video 1: Collaborating with The Met to Awaken “Sleeping Beauties” with AI
This video showcases a collaboration between The Met and OpenAI, which utilizes AI to enhance the museum experience. The project focuses on bringing to life a wedding ensemble by Kos, allowing visitors to engage with the wearer, Natalie Potter, through a custom version of ChatGPT.
AI breathes life into historical artifacts. Visitors can have conversations with Natalie Potter, a 1930s socialite, through AI.
Provides a personalized and interactive museum experience. The technology allows for a more active and customized experience based on individual interests.
Offers a richer understanding of history. The AI model, trained on information from newspapers and relatives, paints a picture of Natalie’s life and interests.
Video 2: Department for Education South Australia | Reimagine Education 2024
This video highlights EdChat, an AI tool developed by the South Australian Department of Education to improve the learning experience for students and address teacher workload.
EdChat is designed to personalize learning. The tool allows students to learn at their own pace and in a way that suits their needs.
EdChat is easily accessible and user-friendly. There is no learning curve, making it simple for both teachers and students to use.
Supports teachers by reducing workload. The tool augments the work teachers are already doing, freeing them up to focus on other aspects of teaching.
Video 3: Jugalbandi Chat Bot: Satya Nadella at Microsoft Build 2023
This video introduces Jugalbandi, a chatbot developed by Microsoft to bridge the linguistic and technological divide in India. The tool aims to provide information and access to government schemes for citizens, particularly those in rural areas with limited access to information.
Jugalbandi addresses the information gap in rural India. The chatbot provides access to information about government schemes, which is often limited in rural communities due to factors such as lack of access to newspapers and literacy challenges.
Overcomes language barriers. The tool leverages Bhashini speech recognition models and Azure OpenAI to understand, transcribe, translate, and synthesize speech in multiple Indian languages.
Simplifies access to government services. The chatbot helps users understand and apply for government schemes by providing information on required documents and forms in both text and audio format.
