Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing society as profoundly as the steam engine and electricity have done. But unlike past technological revolutions, the AI revolution offers a unique chance to improve lives without opening up and exacerbating global inequalities.
That will require widening of the locations where AI is done. The vast majority of experts are in North America, Europe and Asia. Africa, in particular, is barely represented. Such lack of diversity can entrench unintended algorithmic biases and build discrimination into AI products. And that’s not the only gap: fewer African AI researchers and engineers means fewer opportunities to use AI to improve the lives of Africans. The research community is also missing out on talented individuals simply because they have not received the right education.
I am happy to be returning to Africa as part of a chance to change that. Next month, Internet-technology company Google will open an AI Research Lab in Accra, Ghana, which will be the first of its kind on the continent and which I will lead. We plan to employ many engineers and scientists.
About 15 years ago, I started undergraduate studies in maths and physics in my native Senegal, and began to teach myself AI using courses downloaded from the Internet. I went to Paris to finish my graduate studies and then took up a position in Facebook’s AI research division, working to make machine intelligence fair, transparent and more reliable.
There are many obstacles to an AI researcher from Africa making it into the global community. At a 2016 conference in Barcelona, Spain, attended by more than 5,000 people, I was one of fewer than 10 black people. In response, I co-founded Black in AI. It is now a thriving community of more than 1,000 students, researchers and AI enthusiasts ready to share ideas and foster collaboration to increase representation of black people. Despite the support, many of us still have trouble making it to conferences. I have had papers accepted at meetings but been unable to attend because Western countries such as Australia denied me a visa, even though I was already settled and working professionally in Europe.
