Building ethical AI literacy across Africa. Documenting the journey & sharing what I learn. Follow along, you just might learn a thing or two.

Our first win at YarnGPT came before we launched.

Some days before launch @mekwunyeclinton called me and told me "Saheed abeg I need your help, you said YarnGPT is coming, when is it coming, we need a voiceover for this hackathon".

Apparently they were participating in the recently concluded zenith bank hackathon and they needed something to generate a voiceover for their solution, their products name was "Konfam". They tried elevenlabs and it struggled with pronouncing their solution name.

I sharply opened my laptop, restarted the VM and I sent the site to @mekwunyeclinton. They generated the voiceovers and they were very impressed by the quality. E get some bugs wey them point me to sha💀.

Last Thursday, they presented their project at the final stage of the challenge in the presence of the governor of Lagos State @jidesanwoolu and Jim Ovia!

To cut the long story short, my guys took second place and won 10 million Naira at the zenith bank hackathon.

Congratulations to my guys @mide_TFE @mekwunyeclinton @Justicesiri

YarnGPT is here!

So, these two Shaykhs were meant to speak at UNILAG Central Mosque on Monday after an arrangement was made by 1Ummah and MSSN UNILAG just like they'd be doing at UniAbuja. But, guess who said it must not hold because the speakers are "international people"?

We ended with a deep panel session on Trust, Ethics, and Inclusion: Building Responsible AI for Africa’s Digital Economies, the perfect close to a powerful first day.

Tomorrow, we move again. 🚀

Day 1 at the 5th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Robotics 💡

From powerful keynotes on Nigeria’s AI future to mind-blowing innovations at the exhibition booths, today was packed with learning, connection, and inspiration.

@usexara_ai “Snap to Pay” on WhatsApp was genius 👏 & Gmind AI’s smart tools for teachers and students were another highlight for me

I also had great conversations with like Ijikelly Oluseun, Victor Ogunbiyi & others doing amazing work around digital inclusion & innovation.

@saheedniyi_02 It’s still Day O!😌🤲

[Akinade Abdulmalik Opeyemi @AiwithMalikk]

Been a minute since I took any course.
Last night, I sat with “Understanding AI for Business Professionals”.

AI isn’t just for tech people…. it’s for anyone serious about better and smarter work.

It’s been a while since I dropped any video AI content here 😅
Let’s just say… Batman had a few side missions 😂

Feels good to be back.
Smarter. Sharper. And ready to share what’s next 🚀
