In the context of AI adoption and development, Africa is currently positioned as a region with immense potential but varying levels of advancement. While significant strides have been made in certain countries and sectors, Africa as a whole still lags behind other regions in terms of AI infrastructure, investment, and implementation.
Several factors contribute to Africa’s current standing in the AI landscape:
Overall, while Africa is still in the early stages of its AI journey, there is a growing momentum and commitment towards harnessing AI for sustainable development and economic growth across the continent.
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.
The GCHRA provides a platform for cross-sector collaboration for Africa to harness this resource for increased development. It is an avenue for organizations to showcase their products and services while promoting AI adoption in Africa.
