Digital transformation across industries is indispensable. For this reason we convened at Qhala today for a strategy meeting that brought together key industry players to find out the best way to go on matters AI. This is for Africa by Africans with the intention of solving our problems and seeking interventions that serve us. Isn't it amazing that the solution is within. We are ready for both digitization and digitalization as a continent. With such strategic conversations we are confident of being part of digital economy transformation that we envision. I am excited about the future that incorporates AI here in Africa. The conversation continues. #digitaltransformation# #Artificialintelligence# #commsspecialist

Do you know that AI has the potential to contribute up to $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030, of which $1.2 trillion could be generated in Africa, which would be a 5.6% increase in the continent’s gross domestic product by 2030? Heartening to see policymakers and government officials in Africa recognizing the potential of AI to drive innovation across the region. We believe that GenAI is not just a technology but a catalyst for economic growth across the Global South. We are proud that our portfolio companies, BFREE, Faradai, and SeamlessHR, are already harnessing the power of GenAI to drive growth in the continent. #GenAI #AI #technology #Innovation #Africa #GlobalSouth

?? The Future of AI in Africa: A Call to Action I recently came across a powerful statement: *"Technology is not bias-free; it inherently reflects the biases of its creators."* This rings especially true in the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI). For Africa to fully participate and thrive in the AI revolution, it is imperative that we invest our resources in comprehensive research and robust hardware. This cannot be emphasized enough. By building our own technological infrastructure, we ensure that the AI systems we develop are inclusive and reflective of our unique cultural and societal contexts. ?? Why This Matters: - Representation: Ensures that AI technologies reflect our diverse cultures and perspectives. - Innovation: Drives homegrown solutions that address local challenges. - Equity: Helps mitigate inherent biases by having more diverse creators involved in AI development. The future of AI in Africa depends on our commitment to self-reliance and innovation. Let’s take this crucial step together, for a more equitable and representative technological future. ?? Join the Movement: - Invest in Local Talent: Support African researchers and developers. - Collaborate: Engage with global and local partners to share knowledge and resources. - Advocate: Raise awareness about the importance of African participation in the AI space. Together, we can shape an AI future that benefits everyone. Let’s make our voices heard and our presence felt in the global AI landscape. ?? #AI #Africa #Innovation #Technology #InclusiveAI #FutureOfAI
