tu aN MART Eradicate poverty for all people everywhere, currently measured as people living on less than $1.25 a day MADEBY- PRATEBR BANSAL. XB SOLUTION USING AJ, There are persistent disparities in the “non-income” dimensions of development between the poor and the non-poor and between the B40 and the rest of the population (Figure 4). The absolute deprivations and inequalities of opportunity of the poor and the B40 in these non-incorne dimensions tend to transmit poverty across generations and erode the pace and sustainability of shared prosperity. Be fi lin the higher MP Poverty and prosperity are both multidimensional concepts. Central aspects of both are income deprivations that restrict an individual's ability to consume certain basic goods, such as lack of access to education, health, housing, employment, personal security, and more. Clearly, as the GMR shows, the world has made significant progress in many of these non-income dimensions over the period of the expiring Millennium Development Goals. But significant work remains. Close to one-fifth of all children under five remain undernourished, and some 860 million people continue to live in slums. Access to primary school education and literacy rates have improved, yet the quality of education remains a concern. Moreover, while the tide has turned on the incidence of major deadly diseases, a high number of preventable deaths persist Al can help to identify the region's most in need of help. Through improving farming lands and agriculture, increasing education and helping inhabitants learning new skills to support commurities, Al can also help with aid distribution in poorer and war-torn areas, or where natural disasters have caused devastation. Identifying poverty-stricken regions is a key component in being able to tackle poverty. Satellite imagery is helping researchers do just this. An abundance of images taken by satellites can lend a hand to identifying global activities that reflect poor and rich regions. For instance, areas with a high density of light at night are typically wealthier than those in darkness. This is because those in darkness have little or no access to electricity over nighttime periods. Feeding an algorithm with both night and day satellite images of Rwanda, Nigeria, Uganda, Malawi and Tanzania, they were able to identify signifiers in the daytime pictures. Combining both image sets helped the computer predict poverty in these regions. This was then compared with survey data obtained from households within these regions. This led Burke and his team to be able to predict poverty with an 81-99% accuracy. Al, in this case, can help with the identification of areas most in need of aid. It can also help organisations and aid workers on the ground measure how effective their efforts are in combating poverty.
