At AI for Good, we already know the many ways Artificial Intelligence (AI) is improving our lives, elevating our sciences and industries, and empowering society to achieve a better future. Technological advancements have progressed in lockstep with younger generations, also termed digital natives, who have a natural affinity for technology. As a result, it’s critical to discover ways to reach younger generations, the shapers of tomorrow, and teach them about AI in short, simple, innovative, and creative ways. By capturing solutions in 60-second videos (or less!), we seek to pique interest and shed light on artificial intelligence. Our goal is for users who stumble across the AI for Good TikTok video to ponder on artificial intelligence, how it is now changing their lives, and its future potential.
Don’t worry if you are not a technical expert. You don’t have to be an Engineering PhD to appreciate the advancements in robotics for good, AI for health treatments or the incredible power of AI artists to create wonderful and thoughtful pieces of artwork.
We know that ‘technical’ vocabulary in AI could deter young people from learning about AI due to the apparent complexity of the topic. As a result, our TikTok channel debuted with the goal of creating content for anybody, interest in artificial intelligence through dynamic, instructive, and engaging videos. We want to expand our worldwide reach to emphasize how AI is being used to unearth practical applications for UN SDGs with global impact
