Like any technology, AI is not inherently good or bad. Its value depends entirely on how we use it. To make a positive impact, people in decision-making roles need to understand the realities of the technology and the problems it may (or may not) be able to solve.?
Recent initiatives in Massachusetts exemplify this philosophy. One is the?AI Strategic Task Force set up by Governor Maura Healey, which studies the impact of AI and aims to position the state as an industry leader. Watch our Executive Director Usama Fayyad, who serves on the Task Force, share his thoughts here. Another is the AI for Impact Co-op Program run by the Burnes Center for Social Change at Northeastern University, giving students the opportunity to work full-time on human-led AI projects that improve the delivery of government services.
