Achieving a safe, free, and prosperous African digital age relies entirely on robust, multi-stakeholder collaboration among governments, industry leaders, and civil society.
These will be marked forever as said by @usembassytz ambassador, Andrew Lentz

[U.S. Embassy Dar es Salaam @usembassytz]

Akili ni mali.
Tanzania ina vipaji na ari ya kuchangia katika kuunda mustakabali wa kidijitali wa Afrika, na si kuwa mtumiaji tu wa teknolojia.

Kaimu Balozi Andy Lentz alitoa hotuba leo katika tamasha la tano la Data Tamasha linalofanyika kila baada ya miaka miwili, lililoandaliwa na Tanzania Data Lab (dLab).

Tamasha hilo linaangazia jinsi data, akili bandia (AI), na teknolojia ya kidijitali zinavyoweza kupanua fursa za kiuchumi na kuchangia mustakabali wa kidijitali wa Tanzania.

dLab ina uhusiano wa muda mrefu na Marekani, na kwa pamoja, kwa kutumia teknolojia bora zaidi ya Marekani, tunaweza kujenga mfumo wa ubunifu uliounganishwa kimataifa ambao ni salama kwa watumiaji.

[U.S. Embassy Dar es Salaam @usembassytz]

Akili ni mali. Wisdom is wealth. 

Tanzania has the talent and ambition to shape Africa’s digital future, not simply consume it.

Chargé d’Affairs Andy Lentz delivered remarks today at the Tanzania Data Lab’s (dLab’s) fifth biennial Data Tamasha - a festival highlighting how data, AI, and digital technology can expand economic opportunity and support Tanzania’s digital future.

dLab has longstanding ties to the United States, and together, leveraging best-in-class American technology, we can build a globally-interconnected innovation ecosystem that is secure and safe for users.
