Africa is on the verge of a digital revolution, and AI has the potential to be the impetus for significant transformation on the continent. Africa has a demographic edge that can be used to leverage AI technologies to spur economic growth and innovation, as 60% of its population is under 25.
The Promise of AI for Africa
AI is predicted to transform industries and societies globally, adding $15.7 trillion to the global digital economy by 2030. This offers Africa a rare chance to forge ahead of conventional development routes and adopt AI-driven solutions to solve urgent problems and create new opportunities.
Artificial Intelligence has become vital in stopping the COVID-19 pandemic and speeding up the healing process. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has shown promise in reducing the effects of the pandemic and laying the groundwork for a more resilient future. It has done this by providing tailored healthcare interventions and by analyzing trends in transmission.
Exploring the Role of AI in Africa’s Future
The goal of the AI for Africa event is to bring together important players from all over the continent to discuss the revolutionary possibilities of AI and to map out a future for its ethical and fair application.
