Juggling between running a startup in an economically devastating country Lebanon, regularly engaging with many AI enthusiasts around the world, presenting at numerous media events, and, at the same time, ensuring that he devotes time to his family, Christophe Zoghbi is still not satisfied. He and the Zaka AI TEAM want everyone, young and old, to benefit from the advancements in AI through learning and development. Even though I am not living in #lebanon, I have kept myself up to speed with the local technology industry and the community. What started as Beirut.AI meetups and more than quadrupled into a whole learning establishment with Zaka.AI (zaka means “intelligence” in Arabic); we owe it to Chris and the staff of Zaka AI to have taught hundreds of Lebanese and Arab youths in AI in affordable ways that would have been unattainable with the traditional educational institutions. Thank you, Chris, and the Zaka | زكا team for everything that you are doing for the #mena region in #ai.
