This high-level event will convene leaders from government, civil society, and the private sector to discuss how African nations can effectively harness Artificial Intelligence (AI) to drive socioeconomic development, and mitigate the risks of a widening digital divide.
Discussions will explore the transformative potential of AI and cloud technologies for Africa and ask how might AI revolutionise key sectors across the continent, such as healthcare, education, agriculture, and energy; improve disaster response; and drive economic growth through increased labour productivity, cutting-edge research, and greater business competitiveness and productivity.
The dialogue will also consider policies (including possible approaches to national and regional AI strategies); skills development; technology and infrastructure; and other strategic steps needed to empower African countries to successfully adopt this technology. Additionally, the event will spotlight the crucial role of partnership between governments, regional organisations, international organisations and the private sector in fostering an enabling environment for Africa’s AI journey.
