There are big hitters in the AI space that use this tech for humanitarian and environmental good—from start-ups fighting climate change to voice recognition experts diagnosing diseases. But you don't need to be backed by AWS or Microsoft to do good. In part two of this series, we dive into how anyone can use AI for good.
