Elly Odhiambo is a passionate technologist and entrepreneur with a deep commitment to leveraging technology for social good. As the founder and CEO of Eltek, he has been at the forefront of developing innovative solutions to address pressing challenges in Africa and beyond.
With a background in computer science and artificial intelligence, Elly recognized the growing threat of AI-generated misinformation early on. This led him to create NGAO, a cutting-edge platform designed to help users distinguish between authentic content and AI-manipulated media.
"In a world where technology can be used to deceive as easily as it can inform, we need tools that empower people to discern truth from fiction," says Elly. "NGAO was born from the belief that everyone deserves access to reliable information, especially in regions where misinformation can have devastating consequences."
Under Elly's leadership, NGAO has grown from a concept to a comprehensive verification platform that analyzes text, images, audio, and video for signs of AI manipulation. The platform's success in reducing voice fraud by 45% in Nigeria demonstrates its real-world impact.
"My vision for NGAO goes beyond just detecting AI-generated content. I want to build a future where technology empowers truth rather than obscures it. By making our tools accessible across Africa and beyond, we're working to ensure that the benefits of AI are shared equitably, while its risks are mitigated responsibly."
