Because of the article's title? Why would I want to learn about that, when I opened an article about AI?

Let's engage with reality a moment: A country like Kenya "leapfrogged" credit cards because they failed to implement them on a useful timeline compared to other countries. Leapfrogging by falling behind isn't the great example the article wants it to be.

Third paragraph:

"We believe that the same way mobile payments leapfrogged credit cards in some markets, and mobile phones leapfrogged desktop computers in developing economies, AI too will (at least initially) leapfrog more legacy technologies that don’t have a “good enough” palliative (I mean alternative) in place."

>Leapfrogging by falling behind isn't the great example the article wants it to be.

It doesn't really matter if you end up with a better solution anyway, it's really the point of the article.

That's not the point at all.
The article has no point. Total nonsense and buzzwords to drive AI hype.
