Rest of World is a nonprofit publication covering technology stories outside western countries.[1][2][3] Founded in 2020 by Sophie Schmidt, daughter of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Rest of World focuses on the impact of technology in emerging markets.[4][5] The publication is primarily funded by Schmidt.[4]

Rest of World has extensively covered the electric vehicle revolution, the gig economy, Chinese technology companies, and artificial intelligence in global markets.[6][7][8][9] The publication won a 2024 National Magazine Award in the design category, for articles on innovative non-western companies, Chinese shopping platforms, and how AI stereotypes different nationalities.[10][11][12][13]

In 2024, Rest of World launched an AI Elections Tracker to examine the role AI plays in elections worldwide.[14]
