Flapmax, an AI innovator, has launched its Women in AI (WAI) Generative AI Fellowship programme today. This FAI Institute programme empowers women in AI and drives innovation, particularly in generative AI, which is growing. The programme targets underserved communities in emerging countries like Africa.
Women interested in generative AI can apply by April 8, 2024, for the Women in AI (WAI) program’s third cohort commencing in May 2024.
“We believe in the immense potential of women to shape the future of AI,” stated FAI Institute founder Dr Dave Ojika. By providing training, guidance, and opportunity, we hope to encourage women to flourish in AI careers and contribute to the industry.”
Flapmax says WAI has taught 800 women from 24 nations since its launch. With sponsorship from Intel, Microsoft, and the worldwide women-in-tech community Wentors, the programme gives underrepresented tech groups real-world exposure through practical learning and hands-on projects.
On International Women’s Day, WAI published a short documentary, Breaking Barriers: Women Shaping AI. This film showcases programme alums’ accomplishments.
