I worked in the field of ICT for development (ICT4D), where I designed cost-effective wireless networks for rural areas. It was there that I realised the importance of services tailored to rural communities and the potential of AI to address local challenges. I then turned my attention to AI applied to agriculture. Soon after, I was confronted with the problem of algorithmic bias, for various reasons, including technical constraints, a lack of data, as well as cultural and social challenges…
In addition to AI, I continue to work on e-learning and m-learning, optimisation techniques in rural wireless network planning, and the design and implementation of ICT services for development.
