According to Bill Gates on Twitter, a recent study published in The Lancet found that reductions in American aid could result in 8 million more children dying before their fifth birthday by 2040 (source: The Lancet, 2025). This underscores an urgent need for AI-driven health analytics and intervention platforms to mitigate the impact of declining aid. AI can optimize resource allocation, predict at-risk populations, and enhance early intervention for child health, presenting significant business opportunities for AI startups and healthtech companies focusing on predictive analytics and digital health solutions (source: The Lancet, 2025; Bill Gates Twitter, 2025).
