11: SenMixMaster, Music and AI in Africa

We often talk about artificial intelligence and its development. What is new? What is on the horizon and what are the problems? That is exciting, no doubt about it. But we often also lose sight of the fact that the news is limited to a few continents: America, Europe or Asia. But what is happening in Africa? Companies there are also trying to conquer the market with artificial intelligence. SenMixMaster is one of them. The AI masters music. I spoke to co-founder Boubacar Djiba about his AI and the situation in Africa.
