Access to a PC and the internet today is essential to be able to actively participate in modern society and achieve many of the goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda, such as ensuring quality education and reducing inequalities. However, we are witnessing a growing problem that could jeopardise this fundamental right: the shortage of RAM memory for consumer users, known as 'RAMageddon'.

This situation is largely caused by the 'AI bubble', a phenomenon in which the growing demand for computational resources for artificial intelligence projects is absorbing the supply of crucial components such as RAM. Technology companies, in their progress to develop and implement new AI solutions, are monopolising access to available memory capacity, with an exorbitant increase in prices and making it increasingly difficult for ordinary users and schools to buy competitive and up-to-date PCs.

Lack of access to modern computers and the internet severely limits opportunities for people of all ages and affects education, participation in the labour market, and even everyday digital life. Schools may not be able to equip themselves with sufficient and up-to-date devices, limiting the learning opportunities of students who may not have access to computer resources at home.

We propose that technology and government leaders take measures that include:

1. Incentives for the production and global distribution of RAM that allow a fair and affordable price.

2. Policies that ensure a balanced availability of IT resources between AI projects and consumer users.

3. Creation of specific funds and initiatives to support the procurement of technology in schools and small-scale organisations.

By joining forces, we can create a fairer system that promotes digital inclusion and gives everyone the opportunity to thrive in an increasingly digital world. Sign this petition and help us stop the AI bubble and solve RAMageddon, ensuring an inclusive digital future for all.
