“Africa is home to some of the most important and most inspiring works in the AI area,” Google Vice President James Manyika told the presentation of the Joint Center for AI in Akri, the capital Ghana.
The Center will serve as a space for training, cooperation and experimentation.
Among the leading initiatives presented are the cooperation for food safety in the field of researchers and non-profit organizations for the development of tools that improve hunger detection and decision resistance for small farmers.
The goal is to help African nutritional systems make it easier to submit climate and economic shocks.
The company also plans to launch the financing platform to support the Startups guided by AIs in the agriculture, health and education sectors.
Through its philanthropic branch, Google has promised $ 7 million to expand AI educational initiatives in Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and Ghana.
Google also announced $ 3 million financing for the collective of Masakhan, which develops AI tools at more than 40 African languages.
