AI DISCUSSION MEETING
An Artificial Intelligence (AI) discussion meeting was held via Google Meet from 8:30 PM to 9:30
PM under the moderation of Kelvin Kipsang. The session was organized through the support
and guidance of Sir Kelly, the CEO of the Sir Kelly Foundation, who served as the guest of the
day. The main objective of the meeting was to create awareness and provide insight into the
application of AI in solving real-world problems.
The meeting began with an introduction by Enock Kiprotich, who highlighted the importance
and growing relevance of Artificial Intelligence in today’s world. This was followed by Ryan
Kipkorir, who presented various real-world use cases, helping participants understand how AI is
applied practically across different sectors. Jude Tulel then gave a detailed explanation of how
AI systems work and presented a project on AI-powered ship detection for maritime
surveillance, demonstrating how AI is used in global security systems. Elvin Biwott further
explored the necessity of AI, explaining why it is an essential tool in modern innovation and
development.
Zawadi Mukuru concluded the presentations by guiding participants on how to get started with
AI and how to effectively use it. She also showcased several projects she has been working on
and shared her journey as a Data Science student at JKUAT. Her presentation demonstrated the
real impact of applying AI knowledge in solving practical problems and inspired participants to
actively pursue similar paths.
The meeting also included an interactive session where participants engaged with the
presenters through questions and discussions. Titus Kiptoo Rono was among those who actively
participated, seeking guidance on how to integrate AI into his Engineering project. The
feedback and insights gained during this interaction played a significant role in shaping and
improving his project, particularly in the areas of AI-based plant health detection and data
driven decision-making.
Overall, the meeting was highly informative and inspiring, providing participants with both
theoretical knowledge and practical direction in the field of Artificial Intelligence. It emphasized
the importance of continuous learning, innovation, and application of AI in addressing real
world challenges. Sir Kelly also recommended that such meetings be conducted at least twice a
month to ensure consistent engagement, learning, and growth among participants.
In conclusion, the session was a success, leaving participants motivated and better equipped
with knowledge on how to explore and implement AI in their respective projects and careers.
