What Are Practical Examples of Artificial Intelligence in Development?

The hype around artificial intelligence is reaching a fevered pitch in the global economy. In international development, there are Nethope webinars, TechChange courses, and USAID guides to build our excitement around this new technology. Yet, the peak of the hype cycle is also when we should pause and take a hard look at what is real, and what is just aspiration. Technology Salons next month in Washington, DC and Johannesburg, SA will be taking a close look at artificial intelligence in international development. We want to dive into real examples, understand the risks and rewards, and publish a comprehensive guide to who is innovating, and what they are learning.
