A groundbreaking Africa-Europe collaboration led by CORE AI aims to train 700 African PhDs in AI over the next decade, starting with an all-women cohort in 2025.
The objective of a groundbreaking Africa-European partnership is to provide 700 African Doctor of Philosophy (PhDs) with training in artificial intelligence (AI) within the next decade.
Nevertheless, the inaugural intake of this program will be one-of-a-kind and composed exclusively of women. CORE AI, a research partnership that unites institutions from both continents, is the driving force behind this initiative.
The program will enroll 100 African women with PhD aspirations in AI annually, with the inaugural all-female cohort commencing in February 2025.
The fundamental principle of AI is to support female researchers, particularly in fields with low female representation, such as AI.
CORE AI underscores the necessity of confronting the systematic discrimination that women encounter in AI research, even within their European institutions, even though this particular emphasis on women is not restricted to the African continent.
