Josh Tyrangiel is the author of “AI for Good: How Real People Are Using Artificial Intelligence to Fix Things That Matter.” On today’s show, Josh talks about some of these real people and the problems they’re working on: a professor trying to understand her nonverbal son, a general who delivered millions of Covid vaccines in 2021, and a hospital CEO trying to reduce the rate of deadly infections.

In this episode, Josh explains:

  • Where AI is helping to reduce hospital infections (and where it’s struggling)
  • Why distributing the Covid vaccine was almost as hard as creating it
  • Why convincing people to use AI is often the hardest problem to solve
  • Why we should use nuclear weapons as a model for regulating AI
