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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"AI for Good How Real People Are Using Artificial Intelligence to Fix Things That Matter","offer_id":46247263994053,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/978-1-6680-8250-8.jpg?v=1779247376","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/ai-for-good-how-real-people-are-using-artificial-intelligence-to-fix-things-that-matter-1","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
