Rise of the Machines: Will AI Enable or Undermine Africa’s Digital Future?

In the digital age, new technologies are constantly transforming industries, expanding civic spaces, and upending regulatory models. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is still nascent on the African continent, suggesting untapped potential that could accelerate Africa’s economic transformation agenda.
Technology policy thought leaders will meet to unravel the opportunities and risks posed by AI to Africa’s development and the contributions of African nations to global AI norms, usage narratives, and standards-setting.
Presented as part of the 2024 Carnegie Africa Forum, a special one-day event that will bring together global thought leaders for discussions on the continent’s role in international cooperation. Hosted by the Carnegie Africa program, this event will leverage the dynamic network of scholars and repository of policy analysis that the program has developed since its founding in 2021 to highlight Africa’s role in the era of climate change, evolving great power competition, and the digital revolution.
