Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is becoming one of the most versatile digital tools which is reshaping the world with how we gather and analyze data, enrich information, and use the resulting intelligence to help make informed decisions. AI is already transforming every walk of life regardless of where one lives in the world. This is true in Africa as well, where AI based solutions are addressing key challenges in areas such as healthcare, agriculture, education, and economic development. In many ways, it is being considered as one of the key digital drivers to help solve socio-economic challenges and accelerate sustainable development.
However, in order to truly harness the power of AI, there are many challenges that the African countries need to overcome as well. Limited Infrastructure, Scarcity and Quality of AI ready dataset, Skill Gaps and scarcity of AI talents, Ethical and Cultural Considerations, Governance and Regulatory Issues, Safety and Trust are some of the key challenges that the continent faces and must tackle.
