IBRAHIM FERNANDEZ Special Guest: Laureat AFU 2022
This young designer from Marcory (Ivory Coast) would never have imagined that one day he would evolve in the fashion world.
With his business school background, he arrived in this industry a little by chance: the young man felt the need to remake his wardrobe with his own fabrics in models imagined by him.
His prints produced between Mali and the Ivory Coast will signify his success.
The designer will participate in the most cutting-edge fashion events on the continent to defend his talent: the Afrik Fashion Show, Moreno’s Fashion, and the very prestigious Dakar Fashion Week and Glitz Fashion Week.

AI FRIENDLY
Friendly Artificial Intelligence (FAI). Friendly AI refers to artificial intelligence systems designed with specific ethical considerations to ensure they act in the best interests of humanity.
These AI systems are programmed to avoid causing harm and prioritize human values and safety in their operations. Unlike the scenarios depicted in movies where robots turn against humans, FAI aims to create AGI that would have a positive impact on humanity and align with our interests.
In practical terms, friendly AI research focuses on how to design AGI that reliably implements human values. Eliezer Yudkowsky, who popularized the term, emphasizes that friendliness (a desire not to harm humans) should be built into AGI from the start.
However, designers must recognize that their initial designs may be flawed, and the AI system will learn and evolve over time.
The challenge lies in defining mechanisms for evolving AI systems under checks and balances, ensuring their utility functions remain friendly even as they become more intelligent.
