LAGOS — Visually-impaired Nigerian Kehinde Olutubosun is a geography and animal enthusiast who struggled to find information because he has no smartphone. But that is changing, thanks to an Artificial Intelligence-powered mobile phone that works offline.

Visually-impaired Kehinde Olubotusun, who struggled to find information because he has no smartphone, and who is using an Artificial-Intelligence-powered mobile phone that works offline, walks at his house in Alimosho local government district in Lagos, Nigeria Feb 23, 2024.

Viamo uses a traditional handset to tap into local mobile phone networks to send commands or requests for information through SMS or voice calls. "For people who are not that financially buoyant, they still have this opportunity to use even as little as 10 naira to ask lots of questions that will actually benefit them, I am so happy," said Olutubosun.
