Gates and OpenAI team up for AI health push in African countries 

The Gates Foundation and OpenAI are setting up a $50 million partnership to help African countries use artificial intelligence to improve their health systems.

The partnership, called Horizon1000, plans to work with African leaders to work out how best to use the technology, starting with Rwanda.

“In poorer countries with enormous health worker shortages and lack of health systems infrastructure, AI can be a gamechanger in expanding access to quality care,” said Gates in a blog post announcing the launch.
