 The AI revolution  and technological disruptions that are now underway will result in an explosion in demand for AI  enhanced products and services (When electricity became available every single piece of equipment and machinery worldwide previously operated manually, was quickly converted to take advantage of the additional benefits/convenience and capabibility of electricity. The same is about to happen again but this time with integration of AI into everything) This along with the technologicl disruptions in 5 foundational sectors, will allow opportunities for AI enhancement of millions of  existing products and services and also enable development of millions of totally new products and services in those key sectors and related industries 

In addition 2.5 billion underserved and disadvantaged commmunities across the developing world will be connected to internet in the next few years, creating a totally new multi billion person market for digital products and services that can meet their needs. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs) identify the key problems. Many of the products and services that can help overcome such problems can be  built using AI based no or low code platforms. This will allow AI entrepreneurs numerous opportunities to build lucrative  products and services to meet the needs of these under served billions and, in some cases, to make very large fortunes . A  list of 170 potential products and services is available in the downloads section of the Resource Centre. Some of these are potential goldmine  opportunities and those who can sieze them will  make their fortunes.

Because  the current leadership of IAAD is closely involved in efforts to narrow the Digital Divide, to implement the SDGs and in researching / writing about the impacts of technological disruption,  we are far more aware and knowledgeable about  the likely AI products and services that will be needed. We will be able to make such information available to IAAD Members giving them early warning and very significant advantages through getting insights and advance information about the sorts of potentially lucrative products and services that are likely to  be needed.

This provides a very significant advantage to the members of IAAD
