We are excited to be co-creating the future of AI-powered geospatial intelligence through a transformational knowledge partnership with @WorldPopProject and geospatial research hub at @unisouthampton.
Over the last 3 days, we explored how the fusion of AI, human geography, and location-informed intelligence can power inclusive economies, especially in underserved communities across the Global South.
By integrating population dynamics, spatial mobility, and settlement characterization with real-time, contextual AI models, this collaboration aims to bring global research to local relevance and impact. This is what it means to truly localize AI for good.
Our delegation, represented by @bayoadekanmbi of @EqualyzAI and @rKyrian of @dsn_ai_network engaged in high-impact ideation and applied solution-building sessions with some of the UK’s brightest minds.
The trip also presented a great opportunity to engage with the legendary @DameWendyDBE, Regius Professor of Computer Science at @unisouthampton, and are deeply grateful to our host @andytatem, Director of @WorldPopProject and leading expert in spatial demography and epidemiology.
Special thanks to other brilliant contributors including Sada Saxton, Ian Coady, Dr. Jessica Espey, @Lai_CDC, @SarchilQ, Dr. Edson Utazi, @ChibuzorNnanatu, @NatuTejedor, @yankeyortis, Alexandra Frosch, Dr. Somnath Chaudhuri, Dr. Winfred Dotse-Gborgbortsi, Dr. Krishnaveni K.S, Dr. Mohamed Megheib, Safia Siddiqi-Hibbert and many others.
Together, we are building a future where AI is not just intelligent, but location-aware, context-sensitive, and impact-driven. Indeed, emerging markets deserve tailored solutions and this collaboration is a step forward.

Very proud about my new #Demography paper with @ipums micro data. Spatial diffusion of the fertility decline during the fertility transition varies substantially by social status group. Migrants and locations with many migrants are pioneers in the process. bit.ly/fert_trans
