This talk showcases several groundbreaking AI projects that Dr. Ruopeng An's team has developed to address pressing societal challenges. These projects include using AI to combat COVID-19 disinformation on social media, improving precision nutrition with computer vision models, tracking public sentiment on soda taxes and menu labeling laws, and autocorrecting exaggerated health research headlines. Dr. An's team has also built AI models to accurately predict obesity prevalence by adjusting self-reported data and created AI tools to detect ChatGPT-generated text in student homework. Additionally, they have developed AI-powered web applications to help social workers improve communication skills through real-time simulations. This talk explores how AI can be harnessed for social good, solving real-world problems and making a meaningful impact.
