About the Workshop

I first saw Leyu as a big deal, but now it seems more profit-driven than a true contribution to research and open source—which is completely fine and great for them. But Shega’s news calls it an "open source" dataset🤔, yet access requires a request, and I haven’t received it after days. Can this really be called an open-source movement?
Their website emphasizes crowdsourcing and incentives, with no clear mention of open-sourcing. So why label it that way in the news?
I still hope they set an example in truly open-sourcing datasets🔥.

If you work on AI agents, do yourself a favor and say you are a SWE and it's not real ML.
True for 99% of the time.

I see people debating whether AI will replace software developers, but let’s be real—, it’s just a job security panic disguised as analysis.

Ethiopia's National Artificial Intelligence Policy
I'm trying to find the original policy and will go over it but here is a quick summary of some of the things. I wish it works out and I'll be super happy if all these happen but do I doubt it, yes!
In a country like Ethiopia I don't think AI would progress unless it's open and there's a great supportive collaboration among all the people involved. And I don't see that in the policy among many things.

If you are interested in Computer Vision make sure to apply here. It's a great program and I was a TA there last year and learned a lot too and met some cool people.
The curriculum emphasizes the importance of ethical considerations, geometry and math, deep learning and AI.
ACVSS will happen from July 13 to 23 in Kigali, Rwanda.

Imagine building something that can write, code, answer questions, translate languages, etc.—all without traditional programming.
Now, it resists alignment, sometimes goes off the rails, and even surprises you with made up answers or real unexpected answers.
Would you call this some sort of intelligence?
