The effectiveness of AI hinges on the quality and availability of data, and as AI technologies evolve, issues such as biases in AI systems highlight the need for fair and diverse data. Traditional methods of data control are being tested, and it’s essential to balance the benefits of data sharing with the protection of national security and sovereignty. Improving digital infrastructure, partnering with global tech companies, and fostering local talent are key to Africa’s AI future. Join us on Thursday, August 29, 2024, at 4 PM for the next episode of Moonshot Conversations. We’ll explore the urgent need for AI regulation in Africa, the importance of African data control, and the development of comprehensive regulations to protect and advance AI technologies. Our speakers include: - Zain Verjee, Co-founder of The Rundown - Megan Yates, Co-Founder of Zindi - Clinton Oduor, ML Engineer and Head of Data Science at Amini They will provide valuable insights on how Africa can tackle these challenges, build a skilled workforce, and harness AI to lead in the future. Whether you're a tech professional, data advocate, or simply interested in Africa’s AI journey, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
