 VISION
To build a world-class Artificial Intelligence knowledge,
research and innovation ecosystem that delivers high
impact & transformational research, business use
applications, AI-first start-ups, employability and social
good use cases with global recognition for solution-
orientation, quality and excellence; such that in 10
years, Nigeria will become one of the top 10 AI
talent/knowledge destinations with 20% GDP
multiplier impact.
Effective use of data and analytics hold the keys to our
collective future
› The McKinsey Global Institute says that AI is contributing to a transformation of society
“happening 10X faster and at 300X the scale or at roughly 3,000X the impact” of the
Industrial Revolution.

› In a research conducted by Accenture, it was concluded that AI has the potential to double growth
rates in 12 developed countries by 2035. AI and Data Science are likely to have even more impact
in developing countries, solving problems in essential sectors such as Finance, Healthcare,
Agriculture etc.

› It is time for Africa to build the requisite capacity in Big Data, Machine Learning and Deep
Learning at a quantum that brings the best of academic research and industry application to solve
fundamental local problems
̶ “African PhD students or researchers working on artificial intelligence and quantum
computing to accelerate the structural transformation of their economies will invent the
future". Makhtar Diop, World Bank's Vice President of Africa

 Teens all over the world are already redefining use of AI
Over the world there have been increasing demand and participation of kids in AI.
With over 500 AI-centric startups by teenagers, Tanmay Bakshi, 13-year-old prodigy taking IBM and
artificial intelligence by storm with over 20,000 views on his YouTube channel, another 15 year old sensation
training a neural net, 16 year old Harshit Sharma, a class 12th government school boy creating history as a
Google employee.

China has now included Artificial Intelligence in secondary
school curriculum and Australia including AI in their
secondary school

6
AI is now the basis for Global and National competitiveness and
we must prepare for this reality

7
Data and its extension in AI is the leapfrog option to address
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

AI in Africa by Africans to solve African problems

“The lack of MI researchers

from Africa means that many
opportunities to use MI to
create a better & more stable
world are being missed”

Caveat Emptor:
You cannot shave a man’s hair in his
absence (MKO Abiola)

cultural and symbolic concepts e.g. from amulets to medical
wearables

 AI+ Researchers Forum
• AI+ Researcher Forum is aimed at raising the standard in research excellence for academic and industry researchers in
Machine & Deep Learning. The platform will provide an opportunity for budding researchers to learn from renowned and
experienced researchers through regular paper review sessions and one-on-one mentoring.

• On a monthly basis, the forum will select leading academic papers, published on leading platforms like arxiv.org or
presented at leading conferences (NeurIPS, ICML etc.) for a collective knowledge sharing review.

• The intent is to pre-read the papers and run a scheduled 3-hour dial-in session every last Sunday every month 6-9pm
Nigerian time.

• The forum will also hold an annual 5-day residential conference, holding as a stream within the 5-day AI bootcamp as an
academic research conclave to learn how to learn emerging theoretical principles, review papers and discuss new
research approaches for world-class research in AI

• The forum will also have an annual 1-day Meet-The-Industry poster session to showcase their latest research works for
industry partnership, support, endorsement and application. This will hold during the annual AI for Executive session.

• The forum will regularly mobilise and support community members to make paper/poster submissions at international
conferences.

• The Forum will provide regular grants and travel incentives to leading researchers to attend local and international
events – based on available fund. 13

Medical AI for Africa: Low-cost replacement

› A smartphone app as an assistive

pathological tool that will be
beneficial for automatic
detection of malaria etc.
› Patients can take a snapshot with
their phones, and – instead of
scrutinising it under a microscope
– feed the picture to a database.
The algorithm then compares it
with other blood samples and
identifies if the disease is
present.

38
Precision farming in Nigeria with algorithmic Zenvus
Precision Farming
› Zenvus is an intelligent solution for farms that uses proprietary electronics
sensors to collect soil data like moisture, nutrients, pH etc., and send
them to a cloud server via GSM, satellite or Wifi. Algorithms in the server
analyze the data and advice farmers on farming. As the crops grow, the
system deploys special cameras to build vegetative health to help
detection of drought stress, pests and diseases. The data generated is
aggregated, anonymized and made available via subscription for agro-
lending, agro-insurance, commodity trading to banks, insurers and
investors
Biosurveillance
› Use different forms of data with spatiotemporal modelling to infer disease
risk across spatial field. As data points are seen, refine
estimates/predictions of risk (here for malaria)
Smartphone crop disease diagnosis
› Image classification implemented on $100 Android phone
› Disease vector counts are needed: an infuriating task when done manually.
We can also automate this count in software on the phone.

39
Lifestyle: Lara.ng, a Nigerian chatbot that does more than
Google map for the low-income segment
› Lara.ng is a simple chat-based AI interface public transportation directions
and fare quotes in Lagos, Nigeria
› Lara.ng gives public transit directions to her users, majorly commuters in
Lagos, on-demand, 24/7.
› It is specifically created for public transit users, while the sister platform
myrp.ng is targeted at drivers and transit passengers.
› It’s aunched Lara on Whatsapp, so users are able to text a number and get
directions on WhatsApp

40
Kudi.ai is another Nigerian chat-to-payment AI interface that
translates the trauma of payment into fun

Kudi uses an everyday conversational AI system to communicate with you. She helps you
transfer money, keep track of your account details, buy airtime, pay recurrent bills such
as GOTV, DSTV And PHCN and she also reminds you when some of this bills are due.

clustering and best-fit product prediction of Nigerian banking
customers and
› Background
» Participants were provided with data from a survey of banks in Nigeria to understand
the preferences, levels of satisfaction and expectation of customers
Best model/winner : k-means clustering
» The database contains responses from more than twenty-three thousand (23,000) retail
customers, from over twenty-nine (29) cities across Nigeria

› Task
» Identify five (5) to seven (7) distinct customer segments
» Provide descriptions and attributes of each identified segment
» What percentage of the total customer base does each identified customer segment
represent?
» Bank C wants to launch a new dollar card product
̶ Who should be their target customers?
̶ Determine the propensity for adoption of the intended new product

› KPMG Feedback to submissions

› Conceptualization: The candidates that scored high displayed a superior ability to
conceptualise…Other good submissions went the extra mile to conduct research relevant to the
issues and leverage it to solve the problem

› Distinct Customer Segments : Candidates were able to identify distinct segments by making
use of multiple differentiating characteristics

› Rational and Logical Sequence to Solutions: Candidates were also able to show the thought
process behind the solutions proffered, making use of layman terms to explain complicated
steps. 97
