Welcome back to another edition of Future Positive, a podcast from XPRIZE. We convene the world’s brightest minds, across a kaleidoscope of cultures and points of view, revealing their inspirations, and how and why they will change the world.Since the foundation of the AI for Good movement, there have been many great examples of how AI can help solve the world’s problems to address the UN’s Sustainability Development Goals.
