Many Ugandans are, by nature, deeply suspicious, and old-fashioned. When they hear about AI, many of them are not willing to investigate the subject. They are also ignorant of the uses to which AI is being harnessed globally. For instance, in China, the Squirrel AI personal tutoring app assesses where a child is struggling and tailors lessons to their pace. It begins with a test to assess a student’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning speed in a given subject. Then, it simplifies that subject into small components called “knowledge points.” These points are linked in a "knowledge graph" that indicates how these concepts are related and support each other. The system then generates lectures through brief videos, examples, and practice problems while adjusting its difficulty as the student progresses. If students quickly exhibit a better grasp of a topic, the system advances them; if they struggle, it slows down and provides more support. Another example of AI’s transformative uses was when Google’s DeepMind collaborated with Moorfields Eye Hospital to assess eye scans with the former’s AI system. The system was able to correctly recommend how patients should be referred for treatment for over 50 sight-threatening eye ailments as accurately as the world-leading expert doctors. Closer to home, in Kenya, AI was successfully integrated into agriculture through the Plant Village Nuru Application. The application utilised digital assistance technology to aid farmers in diagnosing crop diseases in the field. TensorFlow image detection technology was used to identify objects and patterns on plant leaves indicating disease outbreaks. The application did this by training on images of both healthy and diseased crop leaves. The examples above show AI’s malleability and potential to positively impact various sectors.
