AI and Its Arrival in Africa aims to be a thought-provoking webinar that will explore the transformative potential—and complex challenges—of Artificial Intelligence across the African continent. As AI accelerates globally, how does it integrate into developing economies that often lack robust technological infrastructure? Will nations without digital readiness be left behind in the new global economy? What are the risks of widespread job loss and how do we ensure AI adoption supports rather than harms African communities?
This session will unpack key questions around:
The readiness of African economies for AI integration
Integrating AI strategies into business structures
The role of AI in education, healthcare, agriculture and governance
Ethical concerns, digital sovereignty, and the threat of tech colonisation
Building inclusive, locally-driven AI strategies for long-term sustainability
Join us as we navigate the future of AI in Africa—through the lens of opportunity, responsibility, and innovation.
