Top answers from some of our sessions.

There is a good chance that you will be able to do this, you will most definitely need to start off with a Master's program then transition to a traditional PhD program. Many programs favor students with relevant degrees (Computer science, electrical/computer engineering, math, etc.) for admission into their programs since they have the necessary background to understand the basics of computer science.

Good question...It mostly depends on how HR is being practiced in each Organization. Generally, HR needs to improve knowledge of the business so we are more impactful in our initiatives

Hello Ayomipo, I'm glad you found the class useful. There is a general rule with quality, it always comes over quantity. LOL. Consistency is also very key, so is creativity and finding ways to engage your audience.

Senior Digital Communications Analyst @ Oando Plc

Awesome question. Technology is here to stay, always evolving and its best to get with it. When the pandemic started shows became an irresponsible thing to do and we saw a few fashion brands think big, we saw a 3d fashion show. No one had to leave their house to see Hanifa’s collection. It was impressive that the first fashion house to do it was an African brand. There are still so many ways technology can enhance fashion design. The question is if we are ready to do the work. I have a friend who says “how come the only way to measure someone is still with a tape measure” other industries have progressed. I think the best way is to think of ways we can make our processes seamless and easier.

For example; female genital mutilation (FGM) is one of the most prevalent harmful practices against women and girls. It is on record 80 percent of this form of rights abuse on women and young girls happen in Africa, with Somalia being the highest with about 98 % their girls having undergone such a gruesome experience. There are some Cameroon's ethnic groups that believe in FGM as a means to keep women faithful to their husbands , reduction of sexual immorality among women, removal of sexual ambiguity and improving genital esthetics . This practice use to be common with the Ejagham tribe(where I come from) in the South West region of Cameroon. Reliable information equally hold that , about 20%of girls in some communities around Kouserri were circumcised on 2010 , but by 2015, it dropped to about 2% and unfortunately went up to about 10% by 2018. Other passive examples could be found around the Northwest Region where a widow and children are deprived of property left by their deceased father. Fortunately the is a recent penal legislation in Cameroon that protects widows in this regard . Thirdly cultural norms where a widow is forced (against her will) to marry her deceased husband's brother(this can commonly be found around the Northwest Region of Cameroon) etc etc .

At its core, computer vision involves taking in images and processing them for real-world significance. In terms of living spaces, people have used computer vision for things like home construction planning, decoration arrangement planning, and trying out furniture in your house. This is cool and all, but I really wish we would explore computer vision for accessibility in our living spaces. If we had robust visual understanding systems that had seamless integration with natural language synthesizers, we could provide more enhanced accessibility tools for the blind living alone. If we had visual assistance robots that could do household tasks like cooking and cleaning, those with mobility issues could really benefit. There will always be an unexplored importance in areas that don't make tech companies money, and those areas often have the greatest impact.

Hi Opeyemi, I'd recommend Wild Fusions; I think they are the best digital agency in Nigeria and have a good balance of expertise and creativity. Anakle is a close second, definitely with a more creative and daring element, but both great places to gain experience and work with some really bright minds. Sure thing! I'm @ToyinJolapamo on Twitter and Instagram. LinkedIn is my name.

The simple idea of doing a business shows you are somebody. To start, besure of what you want to share, be sure of who needs it and be sure its going to bring back returns. Remember you are not a nobody, you are definitely someone's answered prayers. Know that you hold the solution to the world's biggest problem...just be able to identify, start telling someone about it. The first step is always the founding step.

The goal of blockchain is to mobilise digital currencies. The link with energy supply is a far-fetched but not very much insignificant link. The structure of blockchain should be similar to that of internet communication (fluidity of data flux). Blockchain technology will be influenced more by economic transactions between energy suppliers and consumers in the energy sector. The blockchain technology issue is narrowed down to purchasing ability and mobility. Whether the energy is renewable or not, the question becomes relevant if "cryptos" are used to pay. Many countries already use the P-2-P transaction, which allows traditional currencies, bank cards, and crypto vendor platforms to be purchased (such as Binance without any publicity). When considering this question in terms of mining these coins, the CPU units, According to the Digiconomist's Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index, one bitcoin transaction consumes 1,449 kWh, or roughly 50 days of power for the average US household. Many African businesses consume more energy than this over the course of 50 days. As a result, it has no bearing on Africa's energy sustainability. Africa's most pressing issue is how to manage the energy it generates (how the laws work and how much people can buy). I hope I've quenched your thirst.By the way, how many countries are to adopt a currency which doesn't satisfy the basis laws of currency credibility?

You can say that all ML is data-centric since this is the basic facet machine learning models need to function. Fairness is a growing topic that is fortunately receiving much needed attention. Companies and individuals are realizing the harms that ML can pose and are actively working to address this. Explainability is also a big factor in making ML models fair but is critically understudied, especially in the context of making ML "explainable" to those with lower technology or AI knowledge. Security can be a big issue but is usually handled on the networking side of things (data storage, transmission, etc.).
