Afrobeat & AI: Week 1 Project at ALX Africa
This week at ALX Africa, we got our hands dirty with the exciting intersection of music and AI! Our challenge? Craft a song using different AI models to depict a vision of Africa's young people collaborating with AI to transform the continent.
Now, I'm not talking about robots making beats, We explored the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Llama to generate lyrics that capture the spirit of young Africans embracing technology and shaping a brighter future.
Here's the twist: I envisioned a short song from the perspective of a young African tech whiz. They're passionate about the potential of AI to change the game, not just for Africa, but for the entire world. This song aims to inspire others to see AI not as something to fear, but as a powerful tool to build the future we dream of.
While composing the lyrics, I didn't dive much into coding specifics. Instead, the focus is on the power of innovation, collaboration, and a generation ready to lead the charge. Think Afrobeat rhythms mixed with a hip-hop vibe, perfect for getting the message across to a young audience.
This project is just the beginning of my journey at ALX Africa. Stay tuned as I dive deeper into the exciting world of AI and explore how it can empower Africa's youth to create a truly remarkable future!
I made use of Udio, it's a free program that allows you to create music both with lyrics and the genre of music you desire, it also lets you choose which musician you would like to replicate.

Dedicated friendly individual looking to learn and grow • Linux • Python • ML & Data Science Enthusiast • Graphic Designer • Poet • Researcher • Chichewa Language Ambassador @CohereForAI
To all the Chichewa speakers. You are kindly invited to make contributions to help develop the next State-of-the-art models which will include the Chichewa among other languages in Africa and global tongues.
Cohere For AI has an open science project, Aya: An Open Science Initiative. This is so to help accelerate multilingual AI progress for most languages that have been left out for a while.
Here is how you can make contributions through these three simple tasks:
- Review the existing model performance on the Chichewa language
- Contribute the Chichewa language through prompts and completion
- Review user feedback
Help contribute to the open source projects. Your contributions will mean a lot to the Chichewa language. Contact me to find out more

🏁 Last but not least, we close out our AI Hackathon celebrations with our final finalist, Anders Jensen. 🔴
RPA expert Anders built a mod that streamlines #ChatGPT. Quickly and easily access stored prompts in the PixieBrix sidebar and copy and paste them into ChatGPT to begin a chat. 🔼

Founder and CEO @ Certa.ai. Helping enterprises with third party risk, compliance and ESG
It's happening! Yes, AI will change the way companies work with each other.
~9 months ago at Certa's hackathon weekend, the engineering team blew us away with AI magic. That was the moment when I realized that this will change everything.
Since then, the Certa team has been hard at work refining and testing Certa AI and I could not be more excited about this launch. This is our most significant launch ever.
On October 26th, Certa will unveil a new chapter in AI-Driven risk & compliance. Come watch the future unfurl.

What It Actually Takes to Deploy GenAI Applications to Enterprises
This has been a popular talk track, covering what's required to take an LLM-powered application from POC to production in a real enterprise environment.
See you there!
After exploring Vapi.ai, I'm amazed at its low latency, making interactions feel like you're speaking with a real person.
Vapi revolutionizes how we engage with AI agents, allowing seamless conversations over the phone or on the web. This technology can benefit any business anywhere, any time!
Hats off to Jordan Dearsley, Nikhil Gupta, and the Vapi team!
Thank you, Dr. Sheik M. Isaacs, LSSBB, CSM, CSPO, CIMP, 💻 🌟 for sharing this fantastic GenAI use case! 🤖
Yesterday, I attended a great event organized by Barr Moses and team
where I heard Alexander Liss, PhD, MBA and Oliver Gomes discuss their real- life experiences with GenAI.
Alexander Liss, PhD, MBA revealed that Ancestry is using GenAI to sift through a massive collection of old newspapers 📰, while Oliver shared some exciting stories about data engineering and data governance. 📊
Let's keep the conversation going and share more actual GenAI success stories to separate the hype from the reality! 🚀
