The increasing ability of computers to learn, identify complex patterns and empower humans to make better decisions creates a huge social and economic opportunity. Organisations are using artificial intelligence (AI) to become more efficient and to tackle previously insurmountable prob­lems like climate change and disease. The AI revolution will have an impact across the whole of society, with AI serving as a powerful tool for the people and the organizations that have access to it. As a society, we do have the opportunity to tackle some of society’s most pressing issues. AI and data present us with that opportunity.
