Pay it Forward !

[ORF Kolkata @ORFKolkata]

AI’s promise is transformative, but the “compute divide” is widening. With #data, talent & processing power concentrated, much of the Global South risks being left behind.

At #AI for the World , the conversation examines why most #AI pilots fail to scale and how inclusive digital public infrastructure can turn innovation into measurable impact.

Watch @amitabhk87, @emwebaze, @DrShikoh, Shalini Kapoor, @paolobenanti, @pushmeet & Nidhi Singh discuss moving from AI optics to AI outcomes.

@Google 's new open building dataset is a game changer.

We're using it to support @MEMD_Uganda's electrification strategy.

By analysing building data from satellite images, we're identifying villages ideal for solar mini grids in Lamwo.
