From the article

>Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, state economic development and technology leaders and other officials visited Northeastern’s Boston campus on Thursday to learn from university professors how artificial intelligence can solve some of the most pressing issues in the state and the world.
“AI is a technology with the potential to transform — not just the potential, it *will* transform — every aspect of our life,” Healey said during an event at the EXP research complex. “Massachusetts innovators, as we’ll see in today’s presentations, are already at the forefront.”

>Provost David Madigan said Northeastern was the “exactly the right place to talk about AI,” pointing out that AI research at the university is being used to detect cancers, track infant health, prevent climate change and more.

>“And all with an eye on ethical AI and responsible AI,” Madigan said. “That has been a key theme of everything we do here at this university — how do we harness this extraordinary technology to do good.”
