Bernie does have a good point about AI companies training on our knowledge while gatekeeping outputs. This raises critical questions about access and equity in AI. That seems wrong. #AIEthics #PublicKnowledge #EquityInTech

🔸 Only a small share of the current literature evaluates equity, gender impacts, or long-term sustainability of AI in agriculture
🔸 AI in agriculture needs context-specific data systems, farmer co-design & strong governance to avoid unintended risks to food security

What’s missing in the conversation around AI in agriculture?
Despite the promise of AI-led tools, real-world adoption in smallholder settings remains slow. Do you wonder why?

There is limited robust evidence on the effectiveness and impact of AI interventions

More experimental research, particularly RCTs, is needed to address evidence gaps and understand AI's impact in agriculture

Mentorship isn’t a numbers game—it’s a power shift. ✊

To scale for underserved learners, we must automate the admin, not the advice. Move from "coffee chats" to active sponsorship.

If you aren't creating career breakthroughs, you're just scaling noise.

Mentorship isn’t optional. It’s equity infrastructure. Guiding under-represented talent turns potential into leadership and access into opportunity. Inclusive tech requires structured, intentional mentorship. #InclusiveTech #MentorshipMatters #EquityInTech
March 19, 2026 at 3:34 PM
Inclusive design shouldn’t be a retrofit—it should be the foundation. When access & equity lead from day one, products are stronger, reach more people, and create real impact. Build with inclusion early. That’s how tech serves everyone.

Tech Thoughts Thursday 💡
Scaling mentorship for underserved learners is a values test—not a volume test. Access without depth isn’t equity. Real scale protects connection through intentional matching, supported mentors, and community. How are you preserving quality as you grow?

Tech isn’t neutral—and pretending it is reinforces power and privilege. Every system reflects who had a voice. Equity must be designed on purpose through inclusive design, bias audits, and accountability.
