Digital Disparity in The Technological Era of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence

The following study is based on a research position which explicitly provides an assessment of the digital disparity faced by educational institutions of higher education in developing countries. The intention behind the disparities in three parameters – discourse, policy and sector are provided. Understanding the different approaches, there is a need for an inter-disciplinary study in future endeavours where direct observation and face-to-face interactions which educational institutions of developing regions can provide an in-depth analysis behind the presence of such discrepancy or disparity. The outcomes of the research, as a part of a positional study, helps in understanding the impact of unawareness, lack of educational development and absence of collaboration between educational administrations and institutions which have caused a distinctive disparity in the era of big data and artificial intelligence.
