Gaining Momentum

AMLD Africa addresses a genuine need by fostering AI/ML development in Africa, and its 2021 edition demonstrated promise with 3,000 participants and notable institutional backing. However, the submission is hindered by vague, hyperbolic, and irrelevant data inputs (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' for an event, and citing a $500k market cap) which drastically lower the evidence of traction and response quality scores.

Description

The Applied Machine Learning Days (AMLD) is one of the largest machine learning & AI events in Europe. AMLD Africa is the edition focusing on the African continent, set to explore how Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence can enable innovation and sustainable development in African countries. In our first edition in 2021, we were able to gather academics such as Stanford and EPFL, corporates (Google, IBM, AWS and others) and local entrepreneurs. They were given a platform to share their voices, works and journeys to almost 3000 participants. AMLD Africa 2024 will be held as a hybrid event: online and physically at United States International University (USIU) in Nairobi, Kenya.
