Min’enhle Ncube & Amina Alaoui Soulimani, HUMA: speakers at the Response-ability Summit 2021

Published on: 17th May, 2021

We are happy to have Amina and Min’enhle with us sharing their research insights and pursuits as well as motivation to be part of the Reponse-ability Summit this May. They share the questions currently at the centre of their research. What does context mean for data mining and machine learning? How can we think of algorithms as main interlocutors of research? There is a general lack of locally produced data for AI systems building and how to approach the issue of algorithms dumped on the African populations? And how are the investors’ geographical inclinations dictating the AI development in developing localities? As beautifully put by one of our speakers “online conferencing has broken the borders”, thus, we are curious to know what do they expect this open landscape to bring to their professional lives. Listen to hear the reflections to all the questions raised above and more.
