About Us
Our History
The idea for Africlimate AI sprouted in September 2023 at the Deep Learning Indaba in Accra, Ghana. Members of the Indaba community felt a crucial gap: a grassroots movement to drive research collaboration in artificial intelligence (AI) and climate science within Africa. Inspired by the existing Deep Learning Indaba community, Africlimate AI aims to empower Africans to become active shapers, not just observers, of the ongoing advancements in these fields.
This initiative goes beyond simply receiving knowledge from other regions. It strives to place Africans at the forefront, shaping AI and climate science solutions specifically relevant to the continent's needs and challenges.
