While giving an overview of the COAST Project Uganda project Engineer Bainomugisha the PI highlighted some of the key achievements of this project - equitable and usable datasets which serve as enablers for ML and data science applications to pandemics - prototypes of AI products #AI4Good
Prof Consolata from School of Women and Gender Studies Makerere University highlighted for AI systems to be inclusive the datasets need to be representative - include all people. #HappeningNow COAST Project Uganda dissemination
