AI For Humanity: Using AI To Make A Positive Impact In Developing Countries

Growing up in Nepal, I witnessed firsthand some of the problems and struggles that a developing nation faces. I was also there when the city of Kathmandu got struck by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake in 2015 and remember the damage it caused. I believe the effects could have been mitigated had the country been well-prepared for what was coming. I recently gave a keynote speech at a conference in Nepal on how to use AI in developing countries. Unlike the technical conferences where I usually speak, the audience at this conference was different.
