African Artificial Intelligence - Discovering Africa's AI Identity

Mark Nasila

Sinopsis

Artificial intelligence (AI) is upending life, work, and play as we know it, and it's only just getting started. The rise of AI is a milestone on par with the discovery of fire, the invention of the wheel, and the creation of the internet. In short, AI is going to change everything. For some, that's an exciting prospect. For others, it's terrifying. However you feel about AI, there's no escaping it, whether you're in a global metropolis or a farmer in rural KwaZulu-Natal.
Dr Mark Nasila has been watching AI's ascent for over a decade, studying its effects on everything from agriculture and aviation to healthcare, education, entertainment, crime prevention, energy management, policy creation, finance, and anything in between, and applying them to his role at one of South Africa's most successful financial institutions, First National Bank, a division of FirstRand Group.
African Artificial Intelligence is a comprehensive and fascinating journey, tracing the rise of AI and its evolution into the emerging technology underpinning all others – from connected devices and smart chatbots to the metaverse. Mark combines unexpected use cases and tales of cutting-edge innovation with a unique and potent argument: harnessing AI to solve Africa's problems requires embracing it from an African perspective.
African nations can't afford to simply import AI solutions from afar. Instead, Mark contends, they need to rework, remix, and refine AI so it's able to meet uniquely African challenges in uniquely African ways, and to take advantage of the once-in-a-generation opportunity AI represents for every industry, sector, and person, everywhere.

Big Data Analytics -...

Craig Dames

Big Data Analytics is revolutionizing the way businesses, governments, and organizations operate. In an age where data is generated at an unprecedented scale, analyzing and interpreting this information has become crucial for making informed decisions. Big Data Analytics refers to the process of examining vast and complex data sets to uncover patterns, trends, correlations, and insights that can drive strategic actions.
The significance of Big Data Analytics lies in its ability to transform raw data into valuable information. Organizations across various industries—such as healthcare, finance, retail, and technology—leverage analytics to enhance efficiency, improve customer experiences, and gain a competitive edge. Traditional data processing methods are often inadequate for handling the volume, velocity, and variety of data generated today. As a result, businesses rely on advanced analytical techniques, machine learning algorithms, and specialized tools to process and interpret their data effectively.
One of the primary roles of Big Data Analytics is supporting decision-making processes. By analyzing large datasets, organizations can identify emerging trends, detect anomalies, and make data-driven predictions. For example, e-commerce platforms analyze customer behavior to recommend products tailored to individual preferences, while financial institutions use predictive analytics to assess credit risks and detect fraudulent activities. Similarly, in the healthcare industry, patient data is analyzed to predict disease outbreaks, optimize treatment plans, and improve overall patient care.

Where is My F***N Leg?!

David Macintosh

Scalpels, Egos, Libidos. Is anybody in this hospital under control? 
In surgery, every cut changes a body forever. But what do you really know about the person holding the knife? Are their bodies betraying them and their desires distracting them? Does doubt haunt them and pride destroy them? 
This is the story of the surgeons who stole a leg and saved a life. They are  the ones falling apart in the tearoom afterwards. The aging consultant who can feel his hands betraying him. The single mother questioning every 
cut she's ever made. The brilliant surgeon whose ego writes cheques 
his marriage can't cash. The trainee left holding the blame when a surgeon decides his reputation matters more than the truth. Two women torn apart by a lascivious outsider. And a woman who holds them all together. 
Set in tropical North Queensland; Where is My F***N Leg?! is about the tribes we belong to in operating theatres, in marriages, in the quiet hours when there's nothing left to hide behind. 
It's funny. It's searing. It's painful. 
A blisteringly honest account of loss, lust, trust, betrayal and the uncomfortable truth that the people cutting you open are just as breakable as the rest of us.

Optimizing Outcomes - Integrated...

Mark Mintz

What if neurodiverse individuals, including those dealing with autism, could find an integrated approach — in one place — that actually worked? What if they didn’t have to embark on a costly Diagnosis Odyssey, only to end up frustrated and no closer to a solution than when they started? Pediatric neurologist Mark Mintz, MD will show you that it doesn’t have to be this way — because he has found a new path that has been transforming health care and producing better outcomes for his patients. Wrong and inefficient treatment, over-reliance of medications, Byzantine healthcare bureaucracies and antiquated reimbursement systems disconnected from the actual value of care are affecting outcomes. Dr. Mintz will show you the problems with the system, some of which you know about, some of which may surprise you. He will take you to the bottom line and prove why cheaper doesn’t mean less expensive, and show you how a multi-disciplinary approach, inviting many perspectives to each case, actually streamline care and serves patients better. Working with the vast knowledge of his team consisting of professionals who specialize in both the medical and behavior side of diagnosis and treatment, he will show you how they were able to create an integrated system, stop the Diagnosis Odyssey in its tracks and bring real help to children, adults and their families. Join Dr. Mintz on this journey through the healthcare “system” and meet the patients it has ill-served , only to be rescued by him and his team of caregivers. His head-and-heart approach will leave parents of children with autism and other neurological conditions realizing that, no matter their previous experiences, there is still hope.
