Brilliant to speak @NorthumbriaUni at the opening of their new Centre for Responsible AI. It is great that #Northumbria is helping shape a trusted AI future in #Newcastle and beyond —where tech serves people, not the other way around.

Today we're hearing from Dr Simi Akintoye one of our Associate Professors discussing "decoloniality as an essential Trustworthy AI requirement." Her focus is on AI in Africa and the necessity of decoloniality in dismantling lingering colonial power dynamics.
