What if the artificial intelligence developed on the continent was richer? A native of Ivory Coast, Charlette Désiré N’guessan enriches the agricultural data available in Africa, just like Jessica Nono, originally from Cameroon. Distinguished by the L’Oréal Unesco prize, the Namibian Maria Nelago Kanyama uses machine learning to overcome the lack of water, while Fatou Lo Niang, originally from Senegal, relies on AI to predict the development of cardiovascular diseases .
Making artificial intelligence richer in Africa is also one of the fights of the Indaba community which, following meeting in South Africa, Kenya and Tunisia, gathered a few months ago in Ghana. The idea is to draw on the diversity of African languages to create tools more interesting than ChatGPT. Researchers are particularly active there, like the two Instadeep collaborators Rihab Gorsane and Omayma Mahjoub, authors of a particularly noted article.
