A science foundation helps launch artificial intelligence (AI) in Ethiopia.

EXCERPT from story: AI's mission is to advance sustainable and cutting edge development in Ethiopia and Africa by what's called, technology leapfrogging: jumping straight into advanced technological applications to save time and keep up with the developed world,"

Technology leapfrogging can also assist with social/economic development in.....the developed world!
