Through our work with partners, thousands were trained, hundreds got local, remote and foreign jobs in AI and the world including African governments is becoming better informed on the AI investment opportunities in Africa.

Advisory on Africa AI Strategy
|
|
|
This year, we got to work with several African government organizations to discuss and initiate their strategy planning on how to exist and excel in the Age of AI. Two of our directors were appointed on the South African presidential fourth industrial revolution committee, while we were able to convene other African experts from home and the diaspora to contribute to the Africa Unions Digital Transformation plan currently in development.

Alliance4ai Chapters
|
|
To take the everyday African from having little knowledge of artificial intelligence to first becoming AI engineers or researchers, but more importantly becoming leaders of change and innovation that matters, we developed a packet for school students and coding programs to future-proof their offerings. Join ALU Kigali, CMU Kigali, ASA Ghana and Sup'com Tunisia to pilot this program today!
