Looking at how AI affects all and planning for AI for the people. Check out the Earth Friendly Compute Cookbook by Keolu Fox @KeoluFox
My sabbatical continues. This week speaking and learning at the AI in Context workshop in Germany. Will be presenting on Evaluation as Epistemic Justice in African NLP.

On the @forbesafrica stage, our CEO shared how language barriers shape real-world experiences. That insight drives how we build at #LelapaAI.
#AI should work everywhere, & understanding shouldn’t depend on language.

Haibo! This has nothing to do with you 🙄
But also, @SollyMalatsi my guy - we are RIGHT HERE. Like @vukosi is literally right here
Why you not talking to us
Maybe they’ll, like I dunno, ask the experts next time 🙄
South Africa has withdrawn its first draft national AI policy after revelations that it contained fictitious sources in its reference list which appeared to have been AI-generated. reuters.com/world/africa/sou…
We're so adorbs
The people building #AI shape how it works. This #GirlsInICT Day, we’re celebrating the women at #LelapaAI who are building systems designed to reach more people, across more environments, not just the most resourced ones.

BIG PERSONAL UPDATE. I've joined a16z as a partner investing in infra and AI. I'm also stepping down as CEO of Rosebud AI. I reflect in this article on my 8 years of building in generative AI. At @a16z I‘ll be focusing on the frontier model stack: the models, and the infra and dev tooling around them. I'm excited about rapid model progress, increasingly driven by AI itself, and about what AI is unlocking for math and the sciences. And I’ll always have a soft spot for AI creative tools, having built them for 8 years.
