Building AI for the public interest isn't just about creating smarter systems. It's about ensuring those systems reflect the people they are designed to support.

When we ask AI a question, we often assume it has all the answers.
But AI learns from the information it's trained on. If local languages, histories, and experiences are underrepresented, the technology may not fully understand the communities it's meant to serve.

[Samawati Collective @SamawatiCollect]

When farmers have access to timely, reliable information, they can make better decisions for their crops, their livelihoods, and their communities.

Tina Mkara shared how AI can turn data into practical insights that support more resilient agriculture across Africa.

AI is helping strengthen maternal healthcare in Kenya.

From appointment reminders to identifying high-risk pregnancies, AI-enabled tools are supporting frontline health workers to deliver more timely care, not replace them.

[Samawati Collective @SamawatiCollect]

Javan will join an interdisciplinary panel of practitioners, policymakers, funders, and ecosystem leaders to discuss how Africa can build AI solutions that are practical, inclusive, and designed to address real-world challenges.

[Samawati Collective @SamawatiCollect]

Feeding & Healing: AI in Agriculture and Health will explore how artificial intelligence is transforming food systems and healthcare through innovative, locally driven solutions that improve livelihoods, strengthen resilience, and expand access to essential services.

We're pleased to welcome Javan Waita as a speaker for the next session of the AI for Public Interest (AI4PI) Public Dialogue Series.

[Samawati Collective @SamawatiCollect]

This isn't the future. It's happening now.

[Samawati Collective @SamawatiCollect]

AI is already helping farmers across Africa.

From detecting crop diseases through smartphone images to providing weather forecasts and pest alerts, AI-powered tools are supporting smallholder farmers to make better decisions and build resilience.

The question isn't just how we build AI, but who gets to shape the rules that govern it.

[Samawati Collective @SamawatiCollect]

AI is too big a question of our generation to be answered in isolation.

At #AI4PI, @TabaniMoyo reminded us that shaping the future of AI requires collaboration across countries, institutions, and sectors.

[Samawati Collective @SamawatiCollect]

The question isn't just how we build AI—but who gets to shape the rules that govern it.

People don't just need access to policy. They need access to understanding.
Rose Njeri shares how simplifying complex legislation can help citizens participate more effectively in public decision-making.
AI that serves citizens starts with accessibility.
#AI4PI #CivicTech

[Samawati Collective @SamawatiCollect]

AI is becoming part of democracy—quietly.

It's helping people understand laws, access public information, and engage in civic conversations.

The question is no longer whether AI is influencing civic life.

The question is: who shapes the AI shaping democracy?

[Samawati Collective @SamawatiCollect]

Join us for the first #AI4PI dialogue on AI, democracy & civic participation.
