The AI revolution and technological disruptions that are now underway will result in an explosion in demand for AI enhanced products and services. This along with the technological 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 AI products and services in those key sectors and related industries.
In addition, another 2.2 billion people in the developing world are likely to 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. This offers 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. Some of these products and services are potential goldmine opportunities and can be developed even by non programmers using no or low code paltforms.
AI Academies will benefit from massive increases in numbers of AI trainees and hence income if they can make potential AI entrepreneurs aware of such opportunities and can encourage them to do relevant AI Entrepreneurship training courses. Members of WAAA sister organaisationn, International Association of AI -agent Developers (IAAD ) have been given access to a preliminary list of around 170 potentially lucrative products and services to encourage them to take AI training. This has also been made available in the resources section of this website so it can be downloaded and used to plan AI training courses . Academies can use it to illustrate opportunities their trainees could have, if they complete relevant courses to be able to develop such products. It is expected that around 100 products and services will be identified for each SDG - when the centralised courses are being developed so around 1700 possible products and services will be identified for AI entreprenurs to cosider developing
The current volunteer team developing the WAAA website is closely involved in efforts to narrow the Digital Divide by initiating a global pilot project address the SDGs and in researching / writing about the impacts of technological disruption. We are therefore more aware and knowledgeable about the likely AI products and services that will be needed as the underserved communities come online in different regions of the World. We will be able to share such information and insights with WAAA Members so that they can mobilise and encourage even more AI entrepreneurs to undergo AI training.
This provides a very significant benefit for those AI academies who become members of WAAA
