For my side, this is quite new, particularly in Africa, where when you talk about AI technology, mobile devices, the mass are more aware of Facebook and Instagram… And when you have a tool that can be used in a positive way and has a lot of impact in people’s lives, it’s a plus-plus for everyone.

What Nuru is doing at the moment is helping us as researchers and scientists share our knowledge with the farmers, with the end-users, because we actually need them to see what we see. We need them to see the diseases that we see… So we are using Nuru to help us portray our knowledge into the farmers, so that they can be able to improve their farming practices using the research that has been done and has been proven.

So, when you have a tool like that, a tool that can integrate what the experts know, what the end-users need, and improve their way of life and it actually fits in the way they live their life, it’s a tool that can actually work and will be able to sustain in the system, and it paves a way into other researchers using AI and the same technology to also follow this same practice to generate products that can help people… Because at the end, you might have good products but they do not fit in people’s lives, and now people start getting scared that, “Oh, do you want to replace us?” But now, we are fitting that technology into people’s lives, and that gives them a bit of confidence, a boost, and also comfortability in actually using the tool. So I think we are moving in the right direction and I’m so excited and looking forward to see where this can go.
