Proud to see @aphrc represented at #DeepLearningIndaba2026 in Lagos, in an interactive session on AI evaluation for the social sector 🇳🇬 Really valuable to see participants testing a live chatbot to probe its strengths, weaknesses & failure modes, then unpacking how A/B testing shows whether AI products actually deliver value (not just perform well on paper).

Introducing Cohort 3 of our Compute Grant Program🌍 At #DeepLearningIndaba2026, we were proud to announce Cohort 3 of the Compute Grant Programme, the Deep Learning Indaba Cohort, @DeepIndaba💻 This cohort brings together 10 researchers working across healthcare, technology, agriculture, education, and climate & environment, with projects tackling some of the continent’s most pressing challenges. From AI models that can support earlier detection of brain tumours and maternal health risks, to research enabling African language technologies, protecting wetlands through satellite and IoT data, strengthening IP discovery, and turning handwritten clinical records into usable data, the work is as diverse as the communities it aims to serve. Together, the cohort represents: 🔹 10 researchers 🔹 8 countries across Africa 🔹 10,584 GPU-hours of compute allocated 🔹 63 GPU-weeks of computing capacity And behind every GPU-hour is a research question with the potential to become something much bigger: a better diagnosis, a safer environment, more accessible technology, stronger African-language representation, or a solution built for the realities of African communities. Compute should not be the barrier between a good idea and the breakthrough it could become. Our Compute Grant Programme is powered by our technology partner, @CassavaTech, whose compute infrastructure helps make this work possible. Through this partnership, we are able to provide researchers across Africa with the computational resources they need to develop, test, and scale AI solutions addressing some of the continent’s most pressing challenges. We’re excited to support this next cohort of researchers as they turn compute into research, research into solutions, and solutions into impact. 🎉Big Congratulations and welcome to the Cohort 3! #AISCAfrica #DLI2026 #Indaba2026 #ComputeForGood #AfricanAI #AIResearch #AIForAfrica #ComputeAccess #AfricanResearchers

How can we ensure AI solutions are adopted by their intended users? At the ongoing #DeepLearningIndaba2026, held at @pau_nigeria in Lagos, #IamAPHRC's @agnes_kiragga shared insights from the Center's work, noting that Africa's AI sovereignty depends more on the maturity of data ecosystems and effective governance than on technology alone. During the @wellcometrust hosted panel, "𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭: 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐈 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚," Agnes cited examples of tools developed by Data Science Without Borders pathfinders including 𝐀𝐈 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 - 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐀𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥, 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥, 𝐀𝐈 𝐞𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐇𝐈𝐒𝟐 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, emphasizing the importance of collective benefit from AI innovations to help researchers, health institutions, and governments accelerate progress while advancing equity. A central message from the session was that AI delivers impact only when people trust and use it. AI solutions must be accurate, safe, context-aware, accessible, and able to refer users to healthcare professionals when needed. The discussion also emphasized: ✅building institutional capacity, ✅ establishing clear regulatory frameworks, ✅ securing sustainable financing, ✅ fostering collaboration among governments, researchers, funders, and the private sector, to achieve lasting impact beyond pilot projects. #InnovationToImpact #AIforHealth #ResponsibleAI #DigitalHealth #APHRCResearch @ChristineGer22 @mirre02 @amveyange @DKadengye @isammygh @CKyobutungi @DSWB_Updates @DSI_Africa @AHRI_News
