The conversation revolves around the mission of AMLD Africa and the 2026 edition at Wits University (Johannesburg Jan 26-29, 2026), a nonprofit organization aimed at democratizing AI in Africa. Khalil (President of AMLD Africa) discusses the various aspects of the conference, including its entrepreneurial focus, pricing strategy, and the challenges of organizing events in Africa. The importance of the African diaspora, inclusivity, and networking opportunities are emphasized, along with the significance of keynote speakers and the Startup Forum for connecting startups with investors. The conversation ends with a discussion on the importance of energy, finance sector, and regulations for the development of Africa.

I recently sat down with Khalil Mrini to talk about his work and international experiences. He has spent time in Marrakech, Switzerland, India, and the United States, each place influencing his perspective in different ways. We also mentioned his visit at the UM6P, his experience of the university, students and innkvative AI curriculum. Khalil presented his new paper on agentic AI. The paper focuses on the use of autonomous agents to evaluate and benchmark other agents: essentially, systems that can test one another’s capabilities. He described how this approach could provide a more dynamic and optimal method for measuring progress in AI research. We ended the conversation by discussing AI ethics. Our exchange raised open questions about responsibility, transparency, and how the field can ensure that increasingly autonomous systems align with human values.

3: #1 Exposomics: Lifelong Environmental Exposures and Health Outcomes with Dr. Jacob Galan 4423

0.5 min de lecture.
During this conversation we explore the concept of the exposome, which encompasses all environmental exposures a person experiences over a lifetime. The discussion covers how mass spectrometry helps analyze these exposures and sheds light on gene-environment interactions contributing to health outcomes. We examine how environmental toxins are linked to chronic diseases and highlight how cultural and dietary habits shape individual exposure profiles. The conversation also discusses how artificial intelligence is transforming exposomic research, offering the potential for new health insights through advanced analytics. We address the complexities involved in studying exposomics: the significance of protein structures, innovations in biological research methods, and improvements in mass spectrometry that provide richer data for analysis. Challenges such as finding exposomic markers and detecting elusive ‘ghost molecules’ are considered, as well as the interactions between environment and hormonal health—like changes in testosterone levels. They discuss the promising future of exposomics, focusing on integrating AI and biomonitoring to better understand and manage the real-life impact of environmental exposures on health.
