Why Building AI At DeepMind Feels Like ‘Surfing’

But the difference is between failing and learning.

It's not, you know, girls still need to go to school.

But it's a bridge between, you know,

a time when we have education and a time when hopefully we'll have education for girls.

But at least in the interim, they're learning, which I think is very important for us as Afghans.

And of course, we're sort of one of the pioneers to use television and radio in the way that we use it today.

And we've built in psychosocial programming and so forth, messaging, as well as educating these younger kids.

Well, I mean, essentially we're a content company and you have to create good content.

So we will use whatever that we have at our disposal in terms of delivering what we develop.

And we have good creative people.

TechStuff

And we've succeeded in Ethiopia and South Asia, in the Middle East, and, of course, Afghanistan, which is our home country, which is important to us.
