We spend a lot of time talking and writing about how AI will transform food, but often the lens is shaped by those building companies and products in major economies and tech centers.
But if you zoom out and look at how a transformative technology like AI will impact the broader world, the questions start to look very different.
Today, 673 million people are still hungry, and more than 2.6 billion don’t have access to a healthy diet. And while it’s exciting to consider new technology, the reality is that the global food system is shaped as much by climate shocks, conflict, and economic instability as it is by innovation.
So what does AI look like in the broader world?
This morning at 9 AM Pacific, I’ll be joined by David Laborde, Director of the Agrifood Economics Division at the FAO, for a conversation about where AI can make a difference today—especially in places where basic infrastructure like connectivity and data systems are still limited.
We’ll talk about data ownership, farmer rights, inequality, and what it takes to build resilient, sustainable systems that can enable access to game-changing technologies like AI.
