Plus, Google Says “All Your Data Belong To AI”
As AI technology advances, concern grows in wealthy countries that machines will replace highly skilled knowledge workers. However, the impact of AI on developing countries is expected to be different. With a higher percentage of the population working in less vulnerable sectors to automation, such as agriculture, the focus is on how billions of people in these countries can employ AI rather than being replaced by it. The most transformative applications of AI in the developing world are likely to be those that open up new possibilities for humans rather than replacing them. Already, AI has been used to develop alternative credit scoring systems, offer small loans via mobile phones, target aid during crises, provide personalized education, offer better medical diagnostics, and assist with navigating bureaucracies. To make AI more accessible in the developing world, efforts must be made to create data representative of these populations and overcome infrastructural barriers such as limited smartphone access and poor connectivity. International coordination is also needed, as many developing countries lack the resources and scale to invest in AI technologies for the poor.
