Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

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.

Digital Social Hour

So yeah, these companies have massive amounts of data.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

There's a lot of things that they need solved.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

And the application of AI for these problems is something that's actually non-trivial.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

And it's not just a technical aspect.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

There's, of course, a big technical aspect to that.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

But there's a lot of like processes, things that have been always done in a certain way.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

There's people involved and there's like complex systems.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

And you need to make AI fit in those complex systems and actually provide business value for them.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

Yeah, we actually have, depending on specific initiatives that we pursued, there's some that are pretty high profile.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

Yeah, sorry.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

There's initiatives that are pretty high profile.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

So we've done some work with Unicef, for example, around...

Digital Social Hour

the impact of heat waves on developing children.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

We've also done some other things that are super interesting.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

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.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

So the problem that the world has is that in most developing countries, the schools are not 100% mapped by the government.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

So there's countries in which they don't know more than 50% of the schools where they're at.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

That's crazy.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

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.
