Tackling the global water crisis with Artificial Intelligence

Shortage of clean water is a crisis that has plagued the entire world. Millions of people do not have access to hygienic drinking water, and according to some estimates, close to 2 billion people have no choice but to use contaminated water. Estimates of the World Health Organisation suggest that by 2025, about 1.8 billion people will live in in water-stressed areas.  

But the good news is, with the advancement of technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), tackling the global water crisis through the right implementation can be much easier than before. In fact, many organisations are using AI to prevent wastage of water and know more about how it can be used with optimal efficiency. Take Intel for example. Their AI toolkit ensures that the entire country gets affordable and clean water. The idea of tackling the water crisis started off with an Intel-powered PC and came to light at Intel’s AI for Youth programme. Intel's exceptional AI technology is supporting young revolutionaries to come up with effective solutions for problems like these, and is thus paving the way for a better future.
