Fwd: Tracing Mobile Money's History—and Future
by Grace Mutung'u 04 Aug '22

04 Aug '22

Dear listers, Please see the email below from our colleague Daniel who is conducting research on mobile money. Please help if you can, and share widely. Warmly, Grace --- Hi there! We are researchers in the Department of Information Science at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. We are conducting a research study on mobile money’s history in East Africa, drawing on user innovations and social practices such as informal airtime sharing, ‘beeping’ or ‘flashing,’ among others. In particular, we’re interested in the ways people have exchanged things like currency, services, or information; we are calling this broad category, technologies of exchange. We aim to chart historical, missed, and potential future pathways for technologies of exchange in Sub-Saharan Africa. We are seeking nominations for professionals and social commentators in private, public, and donor sectors who were active in the intersection of technology and value exchange in East Africa in the years around mobile money’s gestation (~1998 – 2009). But the research still welcomes nominations for relevant actors from periods other than the aforementioned. You can nominate yourself or someone else. We're mostly interested in speaking to those in current or past roles in engineering, research, innovation, journalism, arts and literature, funding, policy, law, and regulatory affairs, or any other relevant profession. We are interested in both the formal and informal manifestations of technologies of exchange – from APIs to social practices. If you choose to nominate someone else, we will not inform them that you nominated them. For all nominations, we will reach out to the nominees and seek their informed consent before they can participate in the research study. Please note that you may not be financially compensated for participation in this nomination phase, and all information shared in connection with the research will be treated with the utmost confidentiality in line with Cornell University research ethics guidelines and regulations. Please complete the nomination here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSduWfePCDbyKiqY4upUWAxFX2XsZvGxE-P… (completing this survey should take about 4 minutes). If you have any questions or comments, please send me an email ( dm663(a)cornell.edu) Best regards, Daniel Mwesigwa -- Ph.D. student, Department of Information Science, Cornell, NY Affiliate, Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, Harvard University Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmwsgw/ -- Grace Mutung'u Skype: gracebomu @Bomu PGP ID : 807F57ACF469B0BB

Looking for Machine Learning and AI company based in Africa
by stephen ndungu 11 Jul '22

11 Jul '22

Hallo Citizens, A company is looking for a good established company dealing in Machine Learning and A.I. for the purposes of Big Data processing. The company has said that they have scoured the web and found online local forums of individuals/company formed for that purpose - but none has proved to have a ‘track record’ of dealing with Machine Learning/A.I and Big data. From what I gather - they would like a very formalized company already dealing with the subject. BR/ Stephen N. Sent from my iPhone
