🎓 presents the case of Deep Learning Indaba, a network of AI summer schools in 30+ countries across Africa. Ulrich notes: “If students have friends, partners & collaborators that are part of the AI community, the AI landscape will start becoming more equitable.”
🦠 (ELLIS) also addresses the benefits of AI research collaboration, e.g. in monitoring the spread/perception of COVID-19 in Spain): "Our network brought together key scientists working together on bridging the gap between where the data is & where policymakers are"
