Why A.D.C Newsletter?
We live in a world where there is a lot of data, but the information is scarce and hard to find.
It is even worse when you try when it comes to the Amazing things Africans are doing in the AI and ML space.
Try “googling” about AI, ML, NLP, CV and so on. You will barely see articles, tutorials, videos, news and whatnot by Africans on the internet.
Does that mean there are no practitioners or professionals in Africa that are involved in the advancement of this field?
I disagree I think what they lack is presence, or maybe they are underrepresented in this space.
