The world has problems.
Healthcare is abysmal, the climate crisis, mass extinction, people are hungry and incredibly poor, and political instability is rife, as is inequality.

On the second episode of You and AI, hosts S.I. Ohumu and Mohineet Kaur explore truly meaningful use cases for Artificial Intelligence.
Listen to the episode below, and read on for resource links as well as more on the AI usability expert featured in the discussion, Dr Chandra Sekhar.
