    Poverty begets poverty. Poor people are usually too concerned about the next meal to take time for big structural overhauls of their way of doing things.

      True. It can really be a trappy situation. Not easy to see the way out when everything is stacked against you.

      To be optimistic about the times we live now - AI is not just taking away the jobs, it also gives possibilities to anyone with a smartphone that was unimaginable just a few years ago.

      We might see some crazy creative stuff coming from Asia and Africa in the coming years using this tech. The thing is, everyone’s gonna pull it their way. Not just corporations but also people looking for solutions. It can make a really huge impact to pull people out of poverty and give them stability and independence.
