The goal of this talk is to identify barriers and solutions for the Artificial Intelligence Divide. This refers to the growing disparity in access to, understanding of, and the ability to benefit from artificial intelligence technologies and tools. Based on identified barriers, I will present successful interventions as good practices. From those practices, I will suggest recommendations for future initiatives to tackle the AI divide and contribute towards global collaborations.
