About us
This group brings together practitioners, researchers, economists, engineers, and decision-makers interested in the real-world application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Ethiopia and the region.
Our focus is on applied, production-oriented, and decision-driven AI, not just theory or introductory tutorials.
What we care about
- Applying AI/ML to business, finance, policy, agriculture, trade, and development
- Case studies from real projects (what worked, what failed, why)
- Data challenges in low-data, low-infrastructure environments
- Bridging economics, data science, and machine learning
- Ethical, scalable, and context-aware AI solutions
What this group is NOT
- A beginner “What is AI?” class
- A certification or exam-prep group
- A vendor sales pitch forum
Who should join
- AI / ML practitioners and data scientists
- Economists and policy analysts using data and AI/ML models
- Engineers building AI-powered products
- Professionals from startups, banks, MFIs, NGOs and government
- Advanced students serious about applied AI
What to expect
- Technical and non-technical talks grounded in real use cases
- Panel discussions with practitioners and institutions
- Networking with people actually deploying AI systems
- Occasional workshops and collaborative sessions
Whether you are building models, shaping policy, or translating data into decisions, this group is a space to learn from practice and contribute with substance.
