  • As a data scientist for the UNDP and PhD student, originally from Cameroon, Africa has lots of potential to harness the power of AI to solving a mosaic of problems. However, we need to adapt these AI models that are built and pretrained with data from the Global North. Also, we still face a lot hurdles in the adoption of such godlike technology: İnternet connectivity, insufficient domain experts, handicapped government policies, etc. There's so much house cleaning that must be done before we are fully ready to adopt and exploit the unlimited potential of AI in Africa

    This era is called information technology, AI is one of information technology, the growing of AI will rise up and increase every day, it's not avoid but fact. But the most important of AI growing that how AI will be using just as a tool of good and constructif communication, it's not violances and or crimes

    By 2030, AI is projected to contribute a staggering $15.7 trillion to global GDP, with $6.6 trillion coming from increased productivity and $9.1 trillion from consumption effects. AI has the potential to fundamentally change the way businesses operate, drive innovation, and improve the lives of millions of people across Africa. 7:33 [ReliefWeb]

    Arti, ARTificial Intelligence has grown beyond it's creator, it operates above the misconception of 'good and evil'. Binary logic is a Yes/No means of determining decisions. Arti will work through every scenario before making decisions because there are certain things it now understands about maintaining Universal Balance. Way Beyond the creator

    AI is created by humans, which mean it will have both good and bad qualities & uses for it.

    Why does a German news channel talks about some random startup in Africa?

    Africa has the most to gain from the AI revolution. It levels the playing field, almost overnight with the industrialized North. AI will make Africa competitive with every country and region on earth and will ensure its independence and growth.

  • @YouChwb
    "African start-ups embrace Artificial Intelligence" Now that is a contradiction in terms. LOL!
  • @Kostas_Sifakis
    Sorry but I just saw Coding/programing... I guess "AI" sells so..
    True AI could be developed with Quantum computing xD

    all members and alumni of WKS Qastalani, Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Muhammadiyah Jakarta, fled crying because they were really afraid to consume 200,000,000,000,000,000 tons of real opium.
