Using Artificial intelligence to Empower the Bottom Four Billion | Nir Kshetri | TEDxRITDubai

Currently about four billion people in the world are poor (household income/day of less than US$1.90) or vulnerable to falling into poverty (household income/day of US$1.90-US$11). In this talk, I argue that the bottom four billion population which mainly lives in low- and middle-income countries may benefit more significantly from emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence compared to those living in high income countries. I will present several inspiring examples related to artificial intelligence deployments in agriculture, finance, mining, human resources and other areas that have benefitted the bottom four billion. I will also discuss how national policy makers and international organizations, technology companies and other actors can work together to maximize the benefits that developments in artificial intelligence can offer to the bottom four billion population.
