For most people in this continent, the mobile phone was the first compute unit they had access to. The mobile phone is the primary device where everything is done. Most of the mobile devices that you have here, they do not have as much compute.Maybe four GB Ram, limited storage space. Most entrepreneurs here are fighting fires every other single day. And so the question for us is like how do we empower them with tools to help them reduce the load, but also help them to be more efficient.So my then boyfriend ...

AI is actually going to force humans to push the boundaries of our own thinking, because now it's going to discover things that we may have not uncovered, but to go in and then have to validate that that's going to expand how we actually approach science.

Like what is their world in a ...

When I was a child in Igloolik and I would look up into the stars, I always had the feeling of anything is possible. Without the language, the culture does not exist. Culture and language work together.The language divide remains a challenge. AI brings an amazing opportunity to build a large language model for a low resource language. We want every community to leverage this technology, use it for their own case, and improve upon it.We didn't speak much English growing up. Syllabics was what we were taught. ...

It's massive.It's very challenging for a group of atmospheric scientists to see challenges and weather prediction, and want to address them, to do every part of that equation on their own. We're still dependent on that traditional set of ini ...
