85% of AI's training data comes from the global north, highlighting the digitalization gap of the global south. This imbalance is more than just a discrepancy; it represents a profound division that ...
We need to target undeserved populations to eliminate technology deserts and make it accessible to all populations, to include people with disabilities and those over 65, and the unhoused, incarcerated and people of the global majority by expanding programs to go to them where they are and guide them along each step.
Great question and great response! This disparity is only going to get worse as it’s predicted that 90% of digital content will be AI-generated (from models trained on data primary from the global north) by the end of 2026. So the sooner we can provide accessibility to to these under represented groups, educate on how to use AI and show the value so they continue to use it, hopefully we can address this gap before worsens.
- Big fan of this. Glad this is being talked about.
