10 Ways AI Was Used for Good This Year

Artificial intelligence does not have to threaten humans; it can also work with us to solve big problems. Are you still feeling a little wary of algorithms? We rounded up a slew of stories from the past year that demonstrate the many ways in which this technology can have a positive impact.

Detecting Deadly Weapons Buried land mines kill thousands of people each year. But researchers are working on a system that uses drone footage and machine learning to pick out the unexploded munitions from a distance so they can be safely disarmed. Of course, drones themselves can also be used for nefarious purposes—but yet another AI algorithm, this one inspired by the eye of a fly, can detect these threats.

Cracking the Protein Code Every function in the human body relies on proteins, which consist of long chains of amino acids folded into complex structures that carry out the work coded by our genes. But predicting what shape that chain will take is tricky and can require years to resolve—if you’re a human. This past summer Google’s company DeepMind announced its AI program AlphaFold had predicted the molecular structures of just about every known protein.

Imagine a writer selling out so badly they write an article supporting the concept of AI doing the writing.

First headline was (as predicted) - 'Climate Change'. The only thing the follow-up links showed AI being used for in this regard was to create a 'deep fake' video of a devastated planet. Not the earth, not according to any models or truth. Just post-apocalyptic fearmongering.

Artificial intelligence use for business is immoral, inhumane & likely illegal in 3 years. Using artificial intelligence to make money shows you who the tools are

Maybe it can start real science articles, not like the woke pieces now printed in Scientific American.

If you want machines to tell you how to live that makes me feel very sad for you.
