African Master's Degree in Artificial Intelligence

The artificial intelligence revolution offers an opportunity to improve lives while reducing global inequalities -- if we expand who develops AI and where innovation happens.

Currently, most experts work in North America, Europe, and Asia, with Africa significantly underrepresented. This creates three problems:

• Research communities miss talented innovators lacking educational resources
• Algorithmic biases become entrenched and further discrimination
• Fewer opportunities emerge to apply AI for improving African lives

The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), a Pan-African network of excellence centers, addresses this gap.

AIMS launched the African Master's Degree in Machine Intelligence -- a fully funded one-year intensive graduate program offering state-of-the-art machine learning training at campuses in Rwanda and Ghana.

The program prepares well-rounded machine learning researchers by focusing on basic artificial intelligence research and developing applications addressing Africa's current and future needs.
