The WAAA is being established in recognition that they have a very important role to play in making the benefits of AI available to all and in creating the army of AI entrepreneurs that will help to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs) to make a better fairer world for all
Such AI product, services and agent developers (AI entrepreneurs) will be the driving force in making the benefits of AI available to all. AI Entrepreneurship will be one of the very few jobs that will survive the AI and robotic displacement of workers. Such developers will play a very important role in making AI products and services available to improve business processes and to meet the needs of previously underserved communities in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) so that no one is left behind. AI Academies will play a critical role in training the the army of entrepreneurs that will be needed
AI Academies who are members of WAAA will collaborate to share existing training courses and jointly develop AI courses for each of the SDGS and to meet the needs of the disadvantaged populations who were previously underserved This collaboration will reduce costs drastically and result in increased profits
.At present the WAAA is being established by a team of volunteers devoting their time and efforts to help create this umbrella organisation to service the needs of AI aAcademies. We welcome assistance from others, particularly if you have skills in web design / maintenance , SEO or other relevant expertise .
