The Wadhwani Institute for Artificial Intelligence is an independent nonprofit institute developing AI-based solutions for underserved communities in developing countries. We take on intractable problems where technologies such as AI can potentially be transformative. We balance scientific rigour with empathy to keep the communities we are trying to help at the core of our work. We are currently building AI-based solutions in the agriculture, education, and health domains, such as pest management for cotton farms, maternal, newborn and child health and tuberculosis.
