In general, it's like business outcomes, but it can also be some outcome that's good for the world or some other initiative that they're pursuing.
So yeah, these companies have massive amounts of data.
There's a lot of things that they need solved.
And the application of AI for these problems is something that's actually non-trivial.
And it's not just a technical aspect.
There's, of course, a big technical aspect to that.
But there's a lot of like processes, things that have been always done in a certain way.
There's people involved and there's like complex systems.
And you need to make AI fit in those complex systems and actually provide business value for them.
Yeah, we actually have, depending on specific initiatives that we pursued, there's some that are pretty high profile.
Yeah, sorry.
There's initiatives that are pretty high profile.
So we've done some work with Unicef, for example, around...
the impact of heat waves on developing children.
We've also done some other things that are super interesting.
For example, a couple of years back, we did an initiative with UNICEF and we published a paper on this, which was how to use satellite imagery to detect schools.
So the problem that the world has is that in most developing countries, the schools are not 100% mapped by the government.
So there's countries in which they don't know more than 50% of the schools where they're at.
That's crazy.
So UNICEF has this initiative called Giga, and their intention is to find these schools and go and connect them to the internet so that these children can have the best education possible.
