PROTECTING VULNERABLE PEOPLE FROM

COVID 19 AND OTHER DISEASES IN AFRICA

 NukkAI

NukkAI is a private lab of Artificial Intelligence

who has earned international recognition for its
work on Explainable AI.

Born in May 2018, NukkAI has developed a strong

position in the Industry/Defense vertical, launching
projects with Thales and Airbus. NukkAI has been
at the forefront of the fight against the COVID
crisis since March 2020.

In March 2020, Dr Veronique VENTOS, co-founder

and Head of research at NukkAI, has been
nominated by Forbes(1) as the 3rd most influential
woman in AI worldwide

NukkAI is working closely with the French Army on project NOMADS to deploy
transient consultation offices in the areas most affected by COVID-19 in France.

NukkAI and iMMAP (Fr-US NGO) are working with the Colombian Government on a
similar project.

 Optimizing the
allocation of
resources
•Short term

• Actions – Deployment of transient consultation offices to

detect COVID and other pathologies, creation of a care
follow-up
• Expected results – Isolation and/or treatment of sick people,
and minimization of the confinement duration to avoid
serious economic disorders and their political and social
consequences

•Middle term

• Actions – Set up of a database gathering data from all the

consultation offices and use of Artificial Intelligence methods
• Expected results – Creation of an innovative epidemiological
model to plan efficient actions in case of new pandemic,
identification of population segments that are more sensitive
to the COVID and to other diseases
