- Summary:
- Granted rare access to Ndeup, a spiritual healing ceremony practiced by Lebou peoples in Senegal, filmmaker and writer Manthia Diawara - with input from a cadre of scientists and academics - wonders what connections, if any, can be made between the possession ritual and Western logic. "A.I. African Intelligence" imagines generative ways of utilizing and thinking about 'machine learning,' which Diawara fears might otherwise elide specific cultural practices like Ndeup.
