African Masters of Machine Intelligence (AMMI) is a novel fully funded one-year intensive graduate program that provides brilliant young Africans with state-of-the-art training in machine learning and its applications.The AMMI program prepares well rounded machine intelligence researchers who respond to both present and future needs of Africa and the world.

In September 2018, we launched the African Masters of Machine Intelligence (AMMI) at AIMS thanks to the sponsorship of Facebook and Google and the exceptional support of the global AI community. The goal of AMMI is to bring the best of AI education in Africa and contribute to building a healthy ecosystem of AI practitioners committed to making a positive impact on our societies.

During the past years, it has been exciting seeing them develop strong relationships and grow their technical abilities through group projects, and interactions with world-class lecturers. They now mentor students from their former institutions and are mentored by senior researchers in the field. Upon completion of the AMMI program, they will become mentors for the students of the following class.
