With ChatGPT and AI key topics of 2023, technology is advancing at a pace that no-one cannot afford to ignore. The impact on business-as-usual will be significant, meaning leaders need to adapt and change even faster than the pace of AI development to build future skills within their organisations. In Africa, there is the additional consideration of how to build and work within AI frameworks that are relevant for local context.
A key academic research area for Farayai Kambarani is how to ensure Siri and other AI generators provide options in African languages. With even something as simple as a spelling checker not available in all languages, as a part-time MPhil researcher, Farayi focused on developing new techniques. This culminated in his building a spell checker for Shona-speaking users.
With over 25 years’ experience in various roles within the Supply Chain Planning, Data and Analytics professional fields, Farayi Kambarami, will let us in on more about his AI work in Africa in his conversation with GSB Foundation board chair Kosta Kontos at this year’s GSB Alumni Reunion Weekend (ARW).
Join the ARW on Saturday, 21 October to listen to Farayi talk about African Intelligence in Artificial Intelligence and, particularly within his professional area of supply chain management, how AI is impacting business.
You can read his in-depth article titled AI Future | Fear, Faith, Facts and Fiction on his website.
