About this Event

The AI for Developing Countries is an event to help improve global diversity and bring AI researches to developing countries. Top conferences’ AI researches often focus on developed countries’ problems. This can lead to the inadequacy of diverse thoughts among the AI community and an exclusion of benefits that AI can bring. We need more awareness of these problems.

Our discussions focus on the difficulties that developing countries’ researchers encounter as well as that global researchers face when trying to solve developing countries’ problems. Novel solutions, research directions to create impactful, long-term solutions to those problems will also be brainstormed by participants.

We hope you enjoy it!
