Today\\u2019s guest is Neil Sahota, an IBM Master Inventor, United Nations A.I. Advisor, professor at UC Irvine, and globally-recognized speaker and author. Neil is a founding member of the UN\\u2019s Artificial Intelligence for Social Good Committee, and he\\u2019s here to talk about how we can harness the power of AI and use it for social good. Neil is also the author of \\u201cOwn the A.I.Revolution\\u201d, providing a future-forward look at A.I., focusing on how businesses can use it to commercialize while doing good in the world. We\\u2019ll discuss things like the challenges posed by A.I. and how we can overcome them, as well as which skill-sets are going to be most important in the near future.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0

In our interview, I was amazed by how A.I. can help our businesses, lives, and water infrastructure worldwide. Data allows us to make better decisions. We make better decisions when we have better data. When we don\\u2019t have data, we\\u2019re not making decisions; we\\u2019re making guesses. So how good are your guesses?\\xa0
