Experts say supportive policies and robust infrastructure key for tech opportunities
Africa needs supportive policies and robust infrastructure to tap the limitless opportunities of Artificial intelligence to leapfrog its development, experts have said.
Artificial intelligence, a fast-evolving technology that taps the intelligence of machines or software is transforming all social spheres globally. "In the effervescent realm of AI, the known, the unknown and the unknowable is best addressed through governance with humanity at its centre, for what AI giveth, AI also taketh," Mr. King said, underscoring the need to bridge the digital divide by including marginalized communities in the AI initiatives.
Africa needs to collect more data to have access to its own data and governments need to facilitate data democratization policies. However, most of the market value of AI was realised in in United States and China, she said, citing research by UNCTAD. It was therefore important for African countries to actively participate in global fora to ensure their interests were represented.
