A video round-up of the highlights of the AfricAI conference in Kigali

The GRAIN consortium (IPAR Think Tank, CSEA and Sunbird AI) took part in the first AfricAI conference, held from 12 to 14 June 2023 in Kigali.

 The conference aimed to enable participants from Africa’s AI communities and ecosystems to share knowledge and best practices drawn from a variety of contexts and perspectives; to provide a platform for dialogue between the research community, the public sector and the private sector in order to build responsible and open AI ecosystems; and, finally, to forge new alliances and create opportunities for future collaboration.

The event, organised by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and Niyel, provided a forum for exchange, learning and networking amongst the key players in the AI sector.
