In this episode of Eye on AI, I talk to Ben Rosman, who runs Africa’s largest machine learning lab at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, where he is focused on reinforcement learning. Ben has been instrumental in unifying and upgrading the continent’s machine-learning capabilities in hopes of making Africa a player in the artificial intelligence revolution. If you wanted to know what’s going on with AI in Africa, Ben will fill you in. I hope you find him as interesting as I did.
