AI for Social Good

AI for Social Good is a major social development in personalised education/training for disadvantaged groups of people (including people on probation, people in prison, refugees, long-term unemployed, vulnerable adults, and young people with limited opportunities) thereby transforming their futures and addressing major social problems. It offers a pioneering opportunity to help socially excluded and disadvantaged people through artificial intelligence technology. It is already operating across the Probation Service, prisons, schools, Further Education colleges and refugee centres. The cost to society of reoffending in the UK alone is estimated at £18bn ($23bn) per annum, with one of the important recidivism influences being lack of education and training (UK Parliament, 2022).

GenAIE offers the opportunity to positively impact the reoffending cycle at low cost and further to prevent the origins of offending behaviour in the first instance. We seek partnerships with professionals in other areas including local authority Social Services staff supporting carers, and Jobcentre staff seeking to tackle long-term unemployment. For the future, we would like to explore lifestyle enhancement for the aged and care home residents, including training support for care home and at home keyworkers in this area.
