The world has always been a lopsided, unfair mess--a statement that holds true regardless of whatever business sector you talk about or whichever country you visit.

Giant corporations trample over local businesses when they set up shop in a new country. Issues such as racism, sexism and unfair economic divide have been prevalent for what feels like an eternity. Technologies such as AI, computer vision and NLP were supposed to bridge this gap.
