IDTDS Center

About the center

An Ivorian association that raises awareness of artificial intelligence and data, promotes their use and helps develop them.

Mission

The Intelligent Digital Transformation and Data Strategies Center (IDTDS) works on four related fields: the digital transformation of organizations, artificial intelligence, data science and big data.

Its outlook is international, but its work focuses on Africa first. The continent fell behind during the first three industrial revolutions; the center wants to help it take its full share in the one now driven by AI.

In practice, the center organizes scientific events, trains professionals and students, supervises research and writes studies with recommendations for decision makers.
