How Go Links work
Go Links are a way to create short memorable links for important URLs at your company in the form of go/link. Go Links act like a mental bookmark: once you see it or hear it, you immediately know how to access it, both now and in the future.
Go to Tools > Go Links and click on the New Go Link button in the top right.
Paste the URL you'd like this Go Link to redirect to under Destination URL.
Name the Go Link (what appears after go/____).
Add an optional description of what the link refers to so it's easier to maintain over time.

Pelonomi Moiloa, initially focused on biomedical and electrical engineering at the University of Witwatersrand, South Africa, transitioned to AI, recognizing its growing importance in bioengineering.
Despite a shortage of AI opportunities in South Africa, Moiloa founded LeLapa AI after attending the 2017 Deep Learning Indaba, aiming to enhance African life quality through AI. As CEO, she leads projects like Vulavula, focusing on natural language processing for African languages.
Currently, her passion project involves training AI to accurately pronounce South African names, emphasizing the importance of diversity in AI development and the need for Africans to take control of their technological narrative
THE NERD CORNER 🤓
Neural networks, especially Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), are a cornerstone of AI, resembling the human brain with layers of artificial neurons. These networks process input data through multiple layers, including hidden layers for complex computations, and an output layer for final predictions. Connections between neurons are defined by weights and biases, while activation functions introduce non-linearity, enabling the network to learn from data and perform tasks like image recognition and language processing efficiently.
