How does an AI tourist discover a place?

A working question linking destination information, local knowledge, and economic opportunity.

The keynote shared in the Swahilipot field note asked how AI could change the way the world discovers Mombasa.

That opens a question about representation: which information makes a destination legible to an AI system, and whose knowledge is absent from it?

This archive does not yet contain a published experiment or dataset that answers the question. The field note records the conversation; research findings need their own evidence.
