There are "meaningful uses" for artificial intelligence, The Atlantic's Josh Tyrangiel says. Tyrangiel, author of "A.I. For Good," told Washington Week moderator Jeffrey Goldberg that there are "numerous examples" of how AI is being used in meaningful ways. "Those examples are generally not coming from the pioneering labs, but they're coming from people in disciplines like education and healthcare and government, where people are using A.I. to make things that we actually care about better," he said.
