Ms. Rose Dieng-Kuntz, a Pioneer in artificial intelligence, made history with her groundbreaking work, which continues to consolidate her place at the forefront of technological research. As the first African woman to be admitted to France's École Polytechnique in 1976, she paved the way for future generations in a field that was then largely inaccessible to women, let alone African women. Her scientific contributions, both in France and internationally, have made her a key figure in AI. Her legacy, celebrated throughout the world, remains a source of inspiration for those who appreciate the importance of science to the progress of nations.
