Introducing the African Master’s of Machine Intelligence at AIMS

Machine Intelligence (MI) is revolutionizing critical aspects of our lives. It enhances medical diagnosis, speeds industrial processes and enables scientific discoveries. MI will allow us to usefully gather and analyze vast datasets and extract insights to improve decision making and public policy in diverse areas from education and health to transport, agriculture and finance. Economists now call MI a General Purpose Technology to emphasize its transformative power over many sectors.

SPECIAL PROJECTS

Quantum Leap Africa (QLA), in collaboration with other international research centers and universities, is hosting Hydrogen Intensity Real-time Analysis eXperiment (HIRAX) outrigger in Rwanda. The HIRAX is a radio telescope array that will map nearly all of the southern sky in radio continuum and neutral hydrogen line emission over a frequency range of 400-800Mhz. The HIRAX outrigger telescope in Rwanda is expected to provide an opportunity for cutting edge research and strong collaborations with international professionals in the field of cosmology, astrophysics and data science.
