AI सीख रहा है। लेकिन अफ्रीका के बारे में?

आज की AI प्रणालियों को आकार देने वाले डेटासेट में अफ्रीका कितना मौजूद है? फ्रांसिस ओडेयेमी की TEDxOsogbo वार्ता तर्क देती है कि डेटा शक्ति है, और अगर अफ्रीका AI को अपने बारे में नहीं बताएगा, तो कोई और बताएगा। वक्ता अपने Ninthgrid के काम पर आधारित अनुभव साझा करते हैं, जो अफ्रीकी फ़ोटोग्राफ़रों को प्रामाणिक, अफ्रीका-केंद्रित छवियाँ चाहने वाले ब्रांडों से जोड़ता है।

• AI प्रशिक्षण डेटासेट में अफ्रीका का प्रतिनिधित्व
• शक्ति के स्रोत के रूप में डेटा
• Ninthgrid और महाद्वीप की प्रामाणिक छवियाँ

How much of Africa actually exists in the datasets shaping today's AI? This talk makes the case that data is power, and that if Africa doesn't teach AI who it is, someone else will, with consequences for whether the continent is even part of the future conversation. Francis Odeyemi is a product and brand design leader and the founder of Ninthgrid, often called the "Shutterstock for Africa," a platform giving African photographers a way to earn from authentic, Afrocentric imagery while supplying brands with visual content that actually reflects the continent. Over more than a decade, he has built digital products across Nigeria, the UK, and the US, and is a Y Combinator Startup School alumnus with executive education from Stanford's Graduate School of Business. Through Ninthgrid, he has watched firsthand what happens when an AI model is asked to picture Africa, and how little of the continent actually exists in the datasets shaping today's AI. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
