We had a really good conversation at the gheero office yesterday.
The 10 Academy and gheero teams came together for an open discussion around an important question:
What conversations about AI do we actually need to be having in Ethiopia?
We talked about what we’re seeing around us, what’s missing, where things are heading, and how we can be more intentional about the role AI plays in our lives, our work, and our future.
AI is moving fast. The question is, are we having the right conversations about it?
We’re excited about what we’re planning next for the AI & ML community. Something special is on the way.
Stay tuned.

AI MEETUP | Would you talk to an AI version of someone you've lost?
AI is making it possible to recreate human voices, personalities, and conversations using digital technology. But what would it mean to interact with a digital version of someone who is no longer with us?
Would it bring comfort, or keep the wound open? And if we can still talk to them, would we grieve less?
Join us this Wednesday as we explore AI, digital memories, and the relationship between technology and human connection and loss.
📅 Date: Wednesday, November 4, 2026
🕡 Time: 6:30 PM EAT
📍 Location: 22 Comet Building, next to Axum Hotel
2nd Floor, Office No. 205, Addis Ababa
Bring your curiosity, questions, and different perspectives. 😊
Skip the usual after-work routine and come join the conversation!
