According to a report by the McKinsey Global Institute, AI has the potential to create an additional $13 trillion in global economic output by 2030, with significant implications for the future of work and HR practices. AI technology has the potential to alter business operations and performance, enhance productivity across all sectors in Africa.
With Africa’s growing population of 1.4 billion people, 70% of whom are under the age of 30, strategic investment in AI, especially in building the capacity to harness its benefits, is crucial for sustainable growth and competitiveness across the African continent.
