The USCG evaluated the deployment of PROTECT in the Port of Boston as a success and is currently evaluating the system in the Port of New York, with the potential for nationwide deployment. The PROTECT system is premised on an attacker-defender Stackelberg game model but its development and imple- mentation required both theoretical contributions and detailed evaluations.

  • Artificial Intelligence and Social Work Edited by Milind Tambe , Eric Rice Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-42599-5 — Artificial Intelligence and Social Work Edited by Milind Tambe , Eric Rice Frontmatter More Information Artificial Intelligence and Social Work This book marries social work and artificial intelligence (AI) to provide an introductory guide for using AI for social good. Following an introductory chapter laying out approaches and ethical principles of using AI for social work interventions, the book describes in detail an intervention to increase the spread of HIV information by using algorithms to determine the key individuals in a social network of homeless youth. Other chapters present interdisciplinary collaborations between AI and social work students, including a chatbot for sexual health information and algorithms to determine who is at higher stress among persons with type 2 diabetes. For students, academic researchers, industry leaders, and practitioners, these real-life examples from the USC Center for Artificial Intelligence in Society demonstrate how social work and artificial intelligence can be used in tandem for the greater good. milind tambeis Helen N. and Emmett H. Jones Professor of Engineering and Founding Co-Director of the Center for Artificial Intelligence in Society at the University of Southern California. He is a fellow of Association for Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) and Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), recipient of ACM/SIGAI Autonomous Agents Research Award, Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation Homeland security award, INFORMS Wagner prize in Operations Research, IJCAI John McCarthy Award, and others. He has contributed several foundational papers in AI in areas of intelligent agents and computational game theory, which have received best paper awards at major AI conferences including AAMAS, IJCAI, IAAI.

    Title: AI for Social Impact: Learning and Planning in the Data-to-Deployment Pipeline Authors: Andrew Perrault, Fei Fang, Arunesh Sinha, Milind Tambe Abstract: With the maturing of AI and multiagent systems research, we have a tremendous opportunity to direct these advances towards addressing complex societal problems. In pursuit of this goal of AI for Social Impact, we as AI researchers must go beyond improvements in computational methodology; it is important to step out in the field to demonstrate social impact. To this end, we focus on the problems of public safety and security, wildlife conservation, and public health in low-resource communities, and present research advances in multiagent systems to address one key cross-cutting challenge: how to effectively deploy our limited intervention resources in these problem domains. We present case studies from our deployments around the world as well as lessons learned that we hope are of use to researchers who are interested in AI for Social Impact. In pushing this research agenda, we believe AI can indeed play an important role in fighting social injustice and improving society. --- The maturing of AI and multiagent systems research has created a tremendous opportunity to direct these advances towards addressing complex societal problems. In pursuit of this goal of AI for Social Impact, we as AI researchers must go beyond improvements in computational methodology; it is important to step out in the field to demonstrate social impact. To this end, we focus on three application areas: public safety and security, wildlife conservation, and public health in low-resource communities. In addition to case studies from these areas, we distill our experience into lessons learned and we hope that researchers reading this article may find them useful.

  • The Future Has Begun Using Artificial Intelligence to Transform Government
    THE FUTURE HAS BEGUN USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO TRANSFORM GOVERNMENT THE FUTURE HAS BEGUN A The Partnership for Public Service is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that works to revitalize the federal government by inspiring a new generation to serve and by transforming the way government works. The Partnership teams up with federal agencies and other stakeholders to make our government more effective and efficient. We pursue this goal by: • Providing assistance to federal agencies to improve their management and operations, and to strengthen their leadership capacity • Conducting outreach to college campuses and job seekers to promote public service • Identifying and celebrating government’s successes so they can be replicated across government • Advocating for needed legislative and regulatory reforms to strengthen the civil service • Generating research on, and effective responses to, the workforce challenges facing our federal government • Enhancing public understanding of the valuable work civil servants perform About the IBM Center for The Business of Government Through research stipends and events, the IBM Center for The Business of Government stimulates research and facilitates discussion of new approaches to improving the effectiveness of government at the federal, state, local and international levels. Since its creation in 1998, the Center has awarded research stipends to public management researchers in the academic and nonprofit communities that have resulted in nearly 350 reports—all of which are available on the Center’s website at businessofgovernment.org. About IBM Global Business Services With consultants and professional staff in more than 160 countries globally, IBM Global Business Services is the world’s largest consulting services organization.
