St. FX student develops AI coaching app

Mbongeni Ndlovu, centre, is developing an artificial intelligence app to help coaches, fitness trainers and therapists. Andrew Kendall, left, St. FX’s industry liaison and knowledge transfer manager, and computer sciences professor James Hughes stand alongside their masters of science pupil.

Mbongeni “Bo” Ndlovu’s scientific journey began, in a sense, when he was a young boy living in Bulawayo, the second-largest city in Zimbabwe.

Comment: Artificial intelligence is coming, ready or not

A humanoid robot dances at the International Tourism Trade Fair in Berlin in 2016. Rapidly emerging fields of artificial intellgence are posing challenges to what it means to be human.
