We are a non-profit community teaching people what AI really is, how to use it well, and where it can harm us - while building a Hausa AI for safer online spaces and researching low-cost AI made for our realities.
Our mission
AI is changing how we learn, work, communicate and do business. Our work stands on four pillars - so that people here understand AI, use it wisely, see its dangers clearly and help build AI that serves our society.
Building AI that understands Hausa well enough to help detect insults, abuse and hate speech on social media - so it can be moderated and regulated fairly.
We are building AI that understands Hausa well enough to help detect insults, abuse and hate speech on social media - so harmful content can be found, moderated and regulated fairly, and our communities can talk online without fear.
Hausa speakers, linguists, teachers, journalists, developers and researchers - help us collect, label and test Hausa language data responsibly.
Volunteer for Hausa AIResearch
Powerful AI today needs expensive computers and foreign cloud services. We are researching how to build useful AI that is affordable, runs close to the people who use it, and understands our languages and context. We publish what we learn - successes and failures.

It is a free AI community in Kaduna, Nigeria, run by KadQuantumHub (Kaduna Quantum Innovations Hub). We teach people to understand AI and use it better, discuss AI ethics and its dangers to society, are building a Hausa AI for safer online spaces, and research low-cost local AI.
Yes. The AI Community is run on a non-profit basis as an initiative of KadQuantumHub: joining is free and its goal is public benefit - helping people understand AI, use it better and responsibly, and building AI that works for our society and languages.
In Kaduna, Nigeria. Meetups and events hold at the KadQuantumHub hub in Kaduna, with online sessions and campus chapters for members elsewhere.
It is our effort to build AI that understands Hausa well enough to help detect insults, abuse and hate speech on social media, so it can be moderated and regulated fairly. It is in the research stage, built with native speakers, with humans making the final decisions and care for privacy and free expression.
How to build low-cost local AI: small, efficient models that can run on affordable hardware or phones, work with Hausa and other local languages, and don't depend on expensive foreign services. We share what we learn openly.
Anyone aged 16 and over who is curious about AI: students of any school or course, graduates, teachers, researchers, developers, business owners, creatives, community leaders and parents. Coding experience is not required.
Nothing. Joining the community and attending community events is free.
Fill in the short form on the Join page (kadquantumhub.ng/community/join) with your name, email and interests. You then get access to the community feed, events, challenges and your campus chapter.
Join the community and tell us how you'd like to help - Hausa speakers and linguists help collect and label language data, while developers and researchers help build and test the models.
Choose your school when you join. If it isn't listed, type it in - we create a chapter once a few students join, and choose a Campus Ambassador.
Organisations can sponsor events, provide venues, data or computing resources, or co-run research on Hausa AI and low-cost AI. Reach the team through the Contact page (kadquantumhub.ng/contact).
