AI For Good : How Real People Are Using Artificial Intelligence To Fix Things That Matter

Tyrangiel, Josh,

Includes index. "In contrast to the wave of noisy polemics around AI, AI For Good explores how, in practice, it can actually improve our lives and tells the stories of everyday citizens at the forefront of this new "AI entrepreneurship." AI is often framed as a force of radical transformation, either catapulting us into a utopian future or dragging us toward existential ruin. But this book tells a different story. It's not about high-profile tech CEOs who want to use AI to "break shit," but about a bunch of smart pragmatists using AI to make the world better. Josh Tyrangiel's journey into AI began with a late-night YouTube video featuring General Gustave Perna, the retired four-star general who orchestrated the distribution of Covid vaccines during Operation Warp Speed. Perna's success: and the end of the pandemic: depended on AI's practical ability to synthesize and standardize vast amounts of logistical data. AI wasn't the hero of the story: it was the tool that helped real people get things done. This book follows those people, who make up a kind of AI counterculture. It explores AI's quiet revolution in government services, medicine, education, and human connection: places where it's being used to amplify human judgment rather than replace it. It tells the stories of teachers, doctors, and bureaucrats who often stumbled into AI as a means to solve specific, tangible problems, often with no prior software expertise. While the loudest voices in AI debate doomsday scenarios and trillion-dollar market opportunities, this book focuses on those working in the messy, incremental, but deeply impactful space of AI practice. However, there is one big caveat: success is not guaranteed. Change is hard. Institutions move slowly. But even in failure there are lessons for everyone who's interested in using AI: carefully, thoughtfully: to build a better world today"--Amazon.com.

Culpability

Holsinger, Bruce W.

"A novel"--Cover. "When the Cassidy-Shaws' autonomous minivan collides with an oncoming car, seventeen-year-old Charlie is in the driver's seat, with his father, Noah, riding shotgun. In the back seat, tweens Alice and Izzy are on their phones, while their mother, Lorelei, a world leader in the field of artificial intelligence, is absorbed in her work. Yet each family member harbors a secret, implicating them each in the accident. During a weeklong recuperation on the Chesapeake Bay, the family confronts the excruciating moral dilemmas triggered by the crash. Noah tries to hold the family together as a seemingly routine police investigation jeopardizes Charlie's future. Alice and Izzy turn strangely furtive. And Lorelei's odd behavior tugs at Noah's suspicions that there is a darker truth behind the incident -- suspicions heightened by the sudden intrusion of Daniel Monet, a tech mogul whose mysterious history with Lorelei hints at betrayal. When Charlie falls for Monet's teenaged daughter, the stakes are raised even higher in this propulsive family drama that is also a fascinating exploration of the moral responsibility and ethical consequences of AI."--Provided by publisher.

The Burning Side

Damoff, Sarah.

"When April and Leo's house burns in the middle of the night, they escape with their two young children and the quiet knowledge that the fire is not the only thing threatening their family. They retreat to April's childhood home in Dallas, where her spirited parents and siblings provide both comfort and complication. As the family reckons with the aftermath -- grief, guilt, logistics, and memories scorched and intact -- the fire exposes the cracks already forming in April and Leo's marriage. The novel unfolds in alternating perspectives : from April, who feels the crushing weight of motherhood, marriage, and self-blame ; from Leo, a high school history teacher shaped by a lonely, fractured childhood ; from Deb, April's generous and no-nonsense mother who has to contend with her husband's recent Alzheimer's diagnosis ; and from flashbacks that trace April and Leo's relationship from its earliest days of connection to the devastating decisions that led them here. A family saga suffused with humor, longing, and heartbreak, The Burning Side is about what we inherit and what we choose, about forgiveness and the ache of being known. It is, above all, about the meaning of home and the costs of long love."--Provided by publisher.
