Overview

AMMI is a novel fully funded one-year intensive graduate program that provides brilliant young Africans with state-of-the-art training in machine learning and its applications.

In September 2018, we launched the African Masters of Machine Intelligence (AMMI) at AIMS thanks to Facebook and Google’s sponsorship and the exceptional support of the global AI community. The goal of AMMI is to bring the best of AI education in Africa and contribute to building a healthy ecosystem of AI practitioners committed to making a positive impact on our societies.

Founded by Moustapha Cissé, Professor of Machine Learning and Lead of the Google AI centre Accra, Ghana, the goal of AMMI is to bring the best of AI education in Africa and contribute to building a healthy ecosystem of AI practitioners committed to making a positive impact on our societies. A novel fully-funded one-year intensive graduate program, AMMI provides brilliant young Africans with state-of-the-art training in machine learning and its applications, to respond to the present and future needs of Africa and the world. 

Previously implemented at AIMS Rwanda and AIMS Ghana, AIMS Senegal is now hosting the AMMI program, with the first cohort of 39 students (33% women) since January 2021.
