Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a big trend that is quickly growing across Africa. From healthcare to agriculture, the use of AI to help solve problems is growing at a rapid pace.
Alliance for AI Africa is a group which is promoting Africa AI, to ensure that Africans develop the capacity to contribute to the global development of AI, and apply it to solving pivotal socio-economic challenges that will position the continent for accelerated growth.
Some of the Alliance’s objectives include:
- Aggregating AI stakeholders across the African ecosystem
- Accelerating learning & development for AI innovators
- Influencing policy amendments to support AI
- Supporting AI projects & business level activities
- Celebrating success of the ecosystem
- Advocating African AI affairs abroad
With the recent set up of an AI research centre from Google, it’s safe to say that the promotion of AI is going full force.
