AI Models to help eradicate Poverty 

 

Introduction

Poverty is caused by the lack of education and life skills and the lack of access to food and clean water which can be regionally systemic, an act of a disastrous occurrence or war or both. Poverty is also caused by over-population.

In today’s world with new innovations and technologies especially with the emergence of AI has led to making our lives easier than before. These AI devices, with proper application can also be used to eradicate the world’s poverty.

In this research, the researcher would like to highlight on the various models that can be used through AI to eradicate the world’s poverty.

Satellite imagery along with economic variables to pinpoint poverty

In many countries, a full set of economic variables could be extremely unreliable as input data because many 3rd world countries have a weak infrastructure, a lack of thoroughness to gathering the necessary data and a lack of cooperation in sharing the data.

This problem can be solved by using satellite imagery. Through streaming satellite imagery, researches can identify geographical regions of poverty more accurately by looking dense concentrations of light at night over a particular area.

Stanford University is also working with a number of small NGOs and UN agencies, including the United Nation’s Food Programme, to determine if their relief efforts are having an impact. This research could help global organizations improve their humanitarian response to food shortages and distribute resources more effectively, Burke emphasized.

Growing resilient crops through AI to increase food supply

For optimum planting and harvesting strategies, AI based drones can be used to capture data and analyse them. Researchers hope is that through AI sensors, a comprehensive plant breeding and crop management system will speed the growth cycle of a “drought and heat-tolerant grain” planted in “famine-stricken” areas providing more food for the region therefore increasing their main source of income.

IBM’s Science for Social Good program along with many other organization’s programs are expanding their uses of AI to investigate illiteracy and the current food shortage to determine the ways for saving this world from the chaos. The goal is to improve people’s well-being and to eradicate poverty through reducing hunger, expanding food distribution, growing a heartier food supply and making education available to those who lacked access to AI.

How can AI help towards Poverty Relief?

AI is a tool that can be applied in many areas of life. The use of technology and AI is crucial in predicting natural disasters and improving aid responses after the disaster. These abilities and their effects can lead AI to have the potential to play a major role in decreasing the number of people who are forced into poverty due to natural disasters by preventing loss of life and property to a large extent.

Conclusion

In my opinion, as science and technology are becoming more reliable and accessible throughout the world, countries should think about researching upon AI for the prevention of poverty by using the following models as mentioned above. If proper processes are implemented and we achieve success in this area, the world can become a better place to live in.
