Dr. Godliver from @BusitemaUni says that the use of AI is growing so rapidly, yet not so many exports are in the market. This was her view as she explained the need to "Bridge the AI knowledge Gap in our Communities".

[Next Radio 106.1FM @nextradio_ug]

Dr. Godliver from @BusitemaUni says that Ugandans are not even using AI that much, yet it has a lot it can make better. In her analysis, Dr. Godliver says that Ugandans might be using about 5% of AI's potential or less.
