Eight years ago, hundreds of thousands of #Rohingya were forced to flee #Myanmar. Today they’re forgotten, living in dire conditions in the world’s largest refugee camp in #Bangladesh. But as resources are stretched, there’s pressure for them to return home. But will they ever?

Fed up with luddites and contrarians insisting AI is useless and overhyped. It isn’t. Everyone who really engages with it knows how powerful it is. But, like any tool, its true power lies in correct use by experts. When you say it’s no good you just advertise that you don’t know how to use it.
