Adebayo Alonge developed the RxScanner, a handheld spectrometer and AI system to combat counterfeit medication in Africa. During a demonstration in Cape Town, the system failed due to connectivity issues. Alonge's team quickly adapted the AI model to run offline on an Android phone, saving the demo. This innovation allowed the RxScanner to function without broadband or reliable electricity. The success highlights the potential of "small AI" – efficient AI models running on low-power devices. Other examples of small AI include a drone system for diagnosing cashew plant diseases in India. This drone processes data locally, eliminating the need for external computers or internet. Small AI is also deployed in Uruguay to identify ant infestations in vineyards. Furthermore, small AI is used for detecting malaria-carrying mosquitoes in remote areas. In Brazil, small AI powers electrocardiograms on Arduino devices and analyzes sensor data to detect mosquito breeding sites.
