The AI we shape today will shape us tomorrow

The choices we make about AI today will shape society for generations.

By building AI that empowers everyone, we can create jobs with dignity, improve healthcare, and enhance education.

Together, we can ensure AI expands opportunity, strengthens security, and supports a thriving world for all.

Imagine a future built by all and for all

What if AI was built with people’s needs at its core? Imagine a future where communities from Lagos to Lima shape technology to solve local challenges. Public interest AI ensures fairness, opportunity, and security, creating a world where innovation serves everyone.

Real impact, real lives

In Kenya, AI-powered sensors now monitor vaccine storage in real-time, preventing spoilage caused by frequent power outages. This system has already safeguarded immunisations for over a million children.

In Nigeria, AI forecasting helps clinics anticipate medicine shortages, ensuring essential drugs remain stocked. Meanwhile, in South Africa, AI optimises solar-powered cold storage, keeping medical supplies safe in off-grid areas.

These innovations don’t just improve healthcare - they create jobs, strengthen local supply chains, and expand access to essential services. From disease prevention to tackling climate change, AI built for the public good can deliver lasting impact.
