N. <\/strong>AI can be very helpful for developing economies. Some technologies require fewer resources than others while being very advanced and capable of addressing specific local problems. In healthcare, for instance, the Senegalese start-up KERA has made it possible to reduce face-to-face time between the patient and their doctor by collecting data beforehand, thus facilitating the initial diagnostic. In the farming sector, we have a project in Senegal aiming at mapping rice crops and evaluating their yield.<\/p>\n<p>However, these developing economies are facing technical challenges: infrastructures, telecommunications, and energy remain very costly. Most of the data are very expensive to acquire, store and process, and this creates a disparity in data access. Sufficient computing and storage capacities are necessary, as well as basic regulations to use AI technology safely and ethically.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;citation large 820&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;820px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;overflow:hidden;&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;citation large&#8221; module_class=&#8221;text-citation&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Playfair Display||on||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#273375&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;40px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;60px||60px|125px|true|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;60px||60px|125px|true|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;120px||50px|0px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;27px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; text_line_height_tablet=&#8221;55px&#8221; text_line_height_phone=&#8221;45px&#8221; text_line_height_last_edited=&#8221;off|tablet&#8221; text_orientation_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_orientation_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;#F9B233&#8243; border_width_bottom=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_color_bottom=&#8221;#F9B233&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]AI can be a driver and an accelerator for some actions.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Corps de texte&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;820px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;overflow:hidden;&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Corps de texte&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;22px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#273375&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;20px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;25px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>How can AI facilitate inclusion?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>M.
