Access and Agency: Grounding AI in Africa with Yauvan Aithos

In this episode of Aithos, host Aashna Jain speaks with Yauvan from AI Collective about what it truly means to centre AI around people, not just technology. We dig into why education is a defining space for AI impact in Africa — but only if access, equity and community voices are part of the design.Rather than focusing on buzzwords, we explore how AI intersects with real‑world constraints like connectivity, cost, and classroom realities. We also unpack the idea of sovereign AI — what it means beyond competing with global giants, and how local ownership, voice, and context shape a different future for AI on the continent.
