our leaders

Martin Wagah: CEO & Co-founder

I’m a PhD student at the University of Cambridge, Wellcome Sanger Institute, reading genomics. At Cambridge, I study the evolution of disease vectors by mapping the architecture of their genomes. 

As a life-long futurist, I am deeply interested in Artificial Intelligence, which is currently humanity’s most potent invention. I want to use AIs as general-purpose technologies for developing the African continent.

This is the task we are taking as a lab: to bring a safe, ethically-grounded and aligned AGI to humanity.

Carringtone Kinyanjui: CTO & Co-founder

I’m a PhD student at the University of Manchester, reading the History of Science.

At Manchester, I apply quantitative methods to study the historical co-development of data networks with knowledge communities.

My interest in technical AGI research developed over the last five years and I am now actively developing bespoke African AI solutions. I also enjoy metaphysical, cosmological and political discussions.
