20 August 2019 - Toby Walsh (The University of New South Wales) Abstract Rapid progress is being made in AI today. Much of the technology being developed can be used for good or for bad. I will discuss the growing movement within AI research to develop AI for social good. I will illustrate this with some examples from my own research which take us from food banks to organ banks. In each case, the practical challenge of tackling the societal problem in question (dealing with hunger in a food bank, dealing with the limited supply of donated organs) threw up some interesting theoretical problems not previously studied in the literature. Biography Toby Walsh is Scientia Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the University of New South Wales and Data61 and a Guest Professor at the Technical University of Berlin. He is a Fellow of the Australia Academy of Science, AAAI and EurAI and recipient of the NSW Premier's Prize for Excellence in Engineering and ICT.
