Artificial Intelligence
and Social Good
A survey
Building on the most comprehensive collection of the AI and Social Good (AISG) literature to date with over 1000 contributed papers, we provide a detailed account and analysis of the work under the theme in the following ways.
- We quantitatively analyze the distribution and trend of the AISG literature in terms of application domains and AI techniques used.
- We propose three conceptual methods to systematically group the existing literature and analyze the eight AISG application domains in a unified framework.
- We distill five research topics that represent the common challenges in AISG across various application domains.
- We discuss five issues that, we hope, can shed light on the future development of the AISG research.
