In addition to helping other countries, which I think they should rightfully do and am happy to hear about. I wonder if the A.I. community will invest in educating the lesser privledged in their local communities? Mainly those from poor areas that don’t have access to technology and educational resources?

This is a problem with the local politics of your country, nothing to do with the "A.I. community".
This conference is not going elsewhere to "help poor people", but because it is too difficult for international researchers to go to the U.S.A., and many do not bother at all, resulting in a worse conference. I for one would not even consider going to the states for a conference, but often go to other countries.

There's Internet, I hope that everyone in US have access. If you want to learn programming, just do it.
