In this talk, I show how Machine Learning is going to change the energy sector and make solar energy more accessible. I also give the example from the banking sector in Vietnam on how Machine Learning can help unbankable people get loans. I conclude by saying that my firm conviction is that Machine Learning has the ability to help those who have been left behind in the previous technological revolution.

21. Biggest benefits of ML
to people who have been left behind...

22. Global community has to
come together
• Current algorithms rely a lot on data. Data has to be generated.
• IP was driven by code but in era of ML, IP is data driven
• Hard to find people in any given part of the world.
• Trust is low. Esp products built by banks etc are hardly trusted.

23. My focus: Making AI accessible
