Lessons from the Global South on Designing Inclusive Tech Payal Arora investigates the optimistic approach to technology in the Global South. This book offers a fresh perspective on AI and digital innovation, from viewpoints outside the West.
In From Pessimism to Promise discusses how Arora shows that young people in underrepresented regions embrace new technologies and thereby reinvent digital spaces. She highlights the opportunities for inclusive design, “aspiration algorithms,” and feminist digital activism in countries such as Brazil, India, and Bangladesh.
