AI's Impact
How AI is changing the world. See both sides: the benefits and the harms.
Benefits
Health
Early detection of illness, and medical advice in your own language.
Disaster warnings
Early warning for floods, storms and drought.
Protecting the land
Detecting pollution and planning resources better.
Keeping language alive
Giving local languages a place in the digital world.
Better farming
Information about pests, weather and prices in your language.
Better learning
Help for every child based on what they need.
Harms
Cultural erasure
AI built only on foreign data can forget your traditions and festivals.
Harm to language
The "standard language" trap, treating your dialect as "wrong".
Data taken without asking
Data colonialism: your data extracted and taken away.
Bias and stereotypes
AI treating old prejudices as truth and acting unfairly.
Hallucinations
AI can state made-up things with confidence, so always verify.
Environmental cost
Large AI models consume huge amounts of electricity and water.
