IndabaX Spring School 2026 – Participant Group Project Presentations. Group Five – AINA (Agricultural Intelligence for Native Africa) addressed a critical challenge in the region: How can AI help reduce massive crop losses and improve food security for smallholder farmers? AINA is a multimodal, agentic AI system designed to act as a digital agronomist, especially in regions where agricultural extension services are limited. Across countries like Uganda, Kenya, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Burundi, many farmers lack timely guidance, leading to significant yield losses from diseases such as Banana Xanthomonas Wilt, Cassava Mosaic Disease, and Fall Armyworm. The system combines computer vision and natural language processing, allowing it to analyze crop images and understand farmer descriptions in local languages. This enables accurate diagnosis and personalized recommendations, even in low-resource settings. The team validated their solution using agent-based simulation (NetLogo). Their results showed that when farmers are equipped with AI-driven diagnosis and guidance, awareness increases and disease spread can be significantly reduced through earlier detection and timely intervention. Designed for accessibility, AINA works on low-end devices and integrates with platforms like WhatsApp and USSD, ensuring farmers can access support without needing expensive data or smartphones. Their work demonstrates how combining AI and simulation can support practical, scalable solutions that protect livelihoods and strengthen food systems across Africa.

A deeply reflective talk from Professor Sennay Ghebreab on I and I and AI that looked at AI beyond the technical side and into its role in shaping society. The talk explored AI as a kind of mirror, one that reflects our behaviors, values, and collective realities. But it also challenged us to go further, to use AI not just for reflection, but for introspection, imagination, and transformation. It highlighted an important gap between the technical questions of how we build AI and the social questions of what values we embed and who benefits from it. These two sides are closely connected, yet often treated separately. In the end, the message was clear: AI is not just about systems and data. It is about people, power, and the kind of society we choose to build. @Google @DeepIndaba @TheOfficialACM @UNUMACAU #IndabaXUganda2026 #ResponsibleAI #AIForAfrica #Springschool2026

IndabaX Spring School 2026 – Participant Group Project presentations. Group Four - Kazi Skills explored how AI can support youth empowerment and economic inclusion in Uganda. Their project focuses on individuals who are often left out of traditional systems, such as school dropouts and unemployed youth who have the desire to start businesses but lack access to resources, guidance, or funding. The team proposed a phased approach, starting with Kampala and later expanding across the country, with the aim of reaching more underserved communities over time. By identifying different user categories and their needs, the solution is designed to provide more targeted support, helping young people move from uncertainty to opportunity. Their work highlights how AI can be used not just for efficiency, but to create pathways for Group Members: @SKakitahi @Shaki1Nannyombi @GordonKimera @Seanice_N @primrostnd @Google @DeepIndaba @TheOfficialACM @UNUMACAU #IndabaXUganda2026 #ResponsibleAI #AIForAfrica #Springschool2026

IndabaX Uganda Spring School 2026 – Participant Group Project Presentations. Group Three – Brain Byte explored how AI can be used to tackle mental health challenges in Uganda. Their project, Brain Byte, focuses on leveraging agentic AI to detect and respond to depression risk using social media behavior. With mental health cases on the rise and limited access to professional care, the team looked at how digital signals can support earlier intervention. Using Natural Language Processing and Large Language Models, their system analyzes online activity to identify individuals at different risk levels and recommend context-based interventions. From their simulation, the team observed that AI-driven detection and intervention can significantly reduce the number of high-risk individuals. Over time, more individuals transition toward a healthier state, showing the potential impact of early, data-driven support. Their work highlights how AI can enable proactive mental health care, especially in environments where access and awareness remain key challenges.

We have had a powerful keynote at Deep Learning IndabaX Uganda 2026 from Professor Virginia Dignum on “Responsible AI: Moving Beyond Hype to Human-Centered Innovation.” One of the key messages was that more data and more technology do not automatically lead to better or fairer AI. When most systems are built on data from a small part of the world, they risk reinforcing existing inequalities rather than solving them. The talk has also challenged the idea that regulation slows innovation, highlighting instead that clear rules are what build trust and enable sustainable progress. A reminder was that AI is not inevitable, it is shaped by the choices we make. The responsibility is on us to ensure it empowers people rather than deepens existing gaps. @DeepIndaba @UNUMACAU @GoogleDeepMind @TheOfficialACM #IndabaXUganda #ResponsibleAI #AIInAfrica #HumanCenteredAI

Invited talk by Dr. Irene Nandutu - @irenenanduttu on Strengthening Africa’s AI Research Capacity is on right now. A really important conversation on where Africa stands in the AI space. One thing that stood out is that it’s not enough to just use AI, we need to build, research, and create value locally. It’s clear that investment in infrastructure, education, and collaboration will play a big role in shaping what that future looks like. @DeepIndaba @Google @TheOfficialACM @UNUMACAU #IndabaXUganda2026 #ResponsibleAI #AIForAfrica #Springschool2026
