AI is significantly transforming the way we
work, learn, and live. Marginalized populations
should not be excluded from the opportunities
that these changes create. Education is crucial
to addressing poverty, boosting AI literacy,
economic growth, and creating more job
opportunities – it’s our shared responsibility to
make it accessible for everyone everywhere.
