Creating On-Ramps for a More Inclusive Digital Future

““Trust is the most critical digital infrastructure.””

““All of us who are owners of business models [like Walmart] need to understand [the] responsibility to lead in this transition, in a way that does not attenuate trust, but rather reinforces it.””

““We placed a lot of emphasis on ensuring an inclusive digital future for #MSMEs. That will start by making sure that they have the skills and the capability to take advantage of a digital future and of #AI and new technologies.””

““In the end, it’s all about #Sustainability and sustainable development in some form or shape.””

““Digitalisation and new technologies open a whole range of new creative #partnerships around #SustainableDevelopment.””

““There’s a #partnership between stakeholder groups at every level … that we need to facilitate.””

““Farmers & businesses are very busy… That’s exactly how #MachineLearning and #AI can be helpful—in a learning matter.” “

““When we leverage #AI to benefit low income communities, the stakes are much higher.… If a #farmer gets bad advice on what agricultural practices to use, that could have absolutely detrimental effects.””

““[#Partnerships can bring] companies together with their consumer base, creating a new kind of experience in making sure that individuals … engaging with those companies can start drafting & driving a green #transition in the business.” “

““[Algorithm bias is] keeping out people who don’t have college degrees, people who might have a gap in the resume—which tend to be women, people of colour, etc. It’s entrenching biases that already exist.” “

“Action on #AI entrenching existing biases: “A paradigm shift in how we think about implementing technology: Not as a tool on top of an existing process, but as the first step in redesigning that entire process.””
