One month later, it still feels special to reflect on @dsa_org Summer school. Ten years ago, I was that Master’s student, learning and discovering many techniques for the first time. This year, it was an honour to serve as Program Chair, working alongside a dedicated team to bring such a colourful event to life. It has been especially rewarding to see the posts, reflections and comments from an event we truly enjoyed organising! What does DSA at 10 teach us? I had the opportunity to chair a very engaging panel on “The Future of Careers and Work in the AI Era.” Two things particularly stood out for me: 1. AI is changing careers, but our greatest advantage will be our ability to adapt. Beyond technical skills, the future will require continuous learning, creativity, interdisciplinary thinking and, importantly, the ability to apply AI to real problems in our communities. 2. Africa’s AI future will be stronger if we grow together. We need to deliberately create and share opportunities across our networks, institutions and countries, especially through scholarships, visiting and exchange programmes, mentorship, research collaborations and opportunities for young researchers. Ten years of DSA is a reminder of what a strong African community can achieve when we learn together, create opportunities for one another and grow together. @dsa_org @BusitemaUniv @Makerere @BUAIIR
