At the invitation of @certafoundation , we joined staff from @RwandaParliamnt to explore how AI can support everyday workflows. We also had the opportunity to showcase what we are building at Digital Umuganda for the future of inclusive AI and language technologies.
Audace Niyonkuru, Founder & CEO of @DUmuganda, highlighted that compute remains one of the biggest barriers for businesses due to its high cost, noting that initiatives and grants like AISCA can help unlock access. He also emphasized that a truly conducive environment for AI innovation requires cross-sector collaboration rooted in delivering local value and solving local challenges. #SovereignCompute #ComputeForGood
Mr. Niyonkuru CEO of @DUmuganda on a fireside chat, "AI is transforming every sector but also bringing risks like deepfakes & cybercrime, addressing this needs more than regulation it requires investment in compute data governance strong cross sector collaboration and upskilling"
We are excited to announce that Audace Niyonkuru, Founder & CEO of @DUmuganda will be joining a fireside chat at the #ALTSummit2026 🔗visit altnetworksummit.com for more info 📅12-13 May 2026 📍Digital Transformation Center(DTC) Kigali
