In this episode of the DCN Africa Podcast; We examine the complex relationship between Africa and Artificial Intelligence. With the development of AI originating in the Global North, what does it mean for the adoption, impact and development of AI in Africa? In a quest to find an answer to this question, the host unpacks an insightful discussion that took place at the World Economic Forum’s Special Meeting 2024, focusing on the session titled “AI, Productivity, Work: Can We Have It All?”, featuring Rwanda’s Minister of ICT and Innovation, Paula Ingabire.
