With the transformation into an AI-driven society comes a growing need for professionals who understand its potential and its risks. That’s the vision behind GCA’s new AI+Cyber Curriculum, an initiative to teach students about AI safety and equip them to build real, deployable solutions before they graduate. Launched with a pilot cohort of ten STEM students at Carnegie Mellon University Africa, the program blends technical foundations, responsible-use frameworks, and hands-on capstone projects that mirror real-world cybersecurity challenges.
We had the opportunity to chat with Ineza Karangwa Joseph (Joe), one of the students in the pilot project who helped shape the first set of student-built tools emerging from the curriculum. In this interview, we explore what drew him to the program, what he built, challenges he faced, and how he sees AI shaping the cybersecurity landscape of the future.
