AI for Good: Societal Impact and Public Policy

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force that influences economic systems, institutional functions, and daily human behaviors. Beyond technological efficiency, AI carries the potential to strengthen societal welfare, democratize access to public resources, and promote inclusive governance. This paper investigates the societal applications of AI across domains such as healthcare, education, accessibility, environmental management, emergency response, and civic administration. It further explores risk frameworks, ethical constraints, and policy imperatives, arguing that public governance is pivotal to ensuring equitable and accountable AI implementation. The study concludes that the future of AI must be guided by human-centered ethical principles, international cooperation, and strategic regulatory planning to ensure societal benefit and minimize systemic risks.
