My first thought is that excellent piece the Swedish newspapers worked on wrt Meta glasses and folks in Nairobi being the real AI. So perhaps folks there are already aware of how to use AI.

A guy where I work was doing a presentation where he gushed about how a woman in a village in a developing county could diagnose the cause of her child’s fever and diarrhea using AI: I said it sounded like they could use clean drinking water much more than AI. Really took the wind out of the presenter’s sails but he needed a reality check.

This makes all the other projects we've run in developing countries which aggressively missed the whole point seem quaint and, in comparison, not abysmal failures.

Awesome. Yet another JFK legacy being shat on by this administration.
