Africa AI Accelerator offers new opportunities in developing and emerging countries to overcome obstacles and achieve the SDGs.
Artificial intelligence offers new opportunities in developing and emerging countries to overcome obstacles and achieve the SDGs. For example, AI can help agriculture automatically detect plant diseases or provide local digital companies with new tools. Yet, local AI innovation to solve local problems currently lacks the needed support. Developing and emerging countries are therefore at risk of lagging behind in the use and development of AI or becoming dependent on leading AI nations.
