ABSTRACT

This paper explores the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) robotics to foster grassroots innovation for sustainable development in poor countries. It explains how integrating AI and robots may strengthen grassroots capabilities, promote equity, and so address important issues that are apparent in the fields of education, health, and agriculture. Examining the connections between AI-robotics and grassroots, the study highlights how technology might improve or change life in underprivileged communities. Through real-world case studies, it examines effective applications of AI robotics to promote social justice and global economic development. It discusses some of the difficulties, such as technological, societal, and cultural ones, as well as ethical conundrums while using AI. The study delves deeper into the legislative and policy landscape, offering solutions to the challenges and strategies to encourage growth. It also demonstrates how crucial local knowledge and co-creation are to attaining sustainable and inclusive technological advancement. The conclusion outlines the key conclusions, offers fixes for issues, and offers suggestions for more research to open the door to a more equitable and sustainable technological future.
