2017 ICT4D Conference

With the advent of cognitive computing solutions (e.g. IBM Watson, DeepMind AlphaGo), organizations are the precipice of a major change. Much like the iPhone (released less than 10 years ago), we are a pivotal time where cognitive computing will be incorporated into so many aspects of our professional and personal lives. This includes solving some of the developmental challenges in the world as well as enhance our services in support of the public good. For NGOs and non-profts, cognitive computing will bring a whole new, real-time dynamic in helping people on an individualized level and facilitate our abilities to build a better world for everyone.
