AI literacy curriculum for secondary schools — co-design opportunity
I'm working with a network of educators across 3 countries to design an AI literacy module for secondary students. We need technical reviewers who can help make the content accurate and accessible. The curriculum will be free and open.
Open call: African language NLP benchmark initiative
There's a real gap in evaluation benchmarks for African languages. I'm proposing we coordinate a community effort to build a shared benchmark dataset covering at least 20 languages, starting with Swahili, Amharic, Yoruba, and Zulu. Who's interested in contributing?
Edge inference for low-bandwidth communities — what frameworks work best?
I've been experimenting with TensorFlow Lite and ONNX Runtime for on-device inference. Curious what others have tried, especially for models under 50MB that need to run on older Android devices common in rural areas.
Proposal: Pan-African AI ethics governance framework
We need governance frameworks that are rooted in African values and contexts, not just imported from elsewhere. I'd like to propose a working group to draft principles and a practical checklist for organisations deploying AI on the continent.
