The Deep Learning Indaba #DLI2023 continues today.

Today's theme revolves around deepening knowledge and celebrating African culture

Don't forget to peruse today's agenda and stay tuned for our updates, as we bring you the freshest insights from Africa's premier AI conference.

#DLI_2023 #Yɛbɛtumi #Indaba2023 #DLI2023_workshops

The last keynote session at Deep Learning Indaba, presented by G. Ayorkor Korsah, who serves as the head of the CS & Information System department at Ashesi University, left a profound impact on the audience.

During her address, she emphasized the critical significance of undergraduate students actively engaging in project-based learning throughout their academic journey.

Her argument centered on the idea that this approach could empower young Africans, using Ashesi University's undergraduate students as a case study, to shift from mere consumers of technological solutions to becoming proficient problem-solvers and innovative thinkers in their own right.
