Kevin Mutuma Kaburu, Managing Director - Digital Infrastructure, EA & Middle East SEACOM, opened his keynote by recalling the global pivot to digital technologies during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“COVID-19 accelerated digital transformation across the globe,” he noted, emphasizing how lockdowns made digital tools essential across public, private, and social spheres. But despite the acceleration, Kevin warned, “It’s not enough.”

"Over 50% of academic staff are sceptical about AI. And many have never used @ChatGPTapp." - @irenemutuzo
Can you imagine? Surely, what is @deepseek_ai to them then? It must be some sort of abuse.
This should be our wake-up call. Why?
A THREAD👇🏾 🧵
Prompting. Detection. Deployment. And…Democratization.
@snsumba’s session at the Africa AI Summit unpacked the deeper layers of how AI is revolutionising healthcare, from malaria to future AI-guided diagnostics.
📱 They’ve developed adaptable AI tools attached to microscopes and powered by smartphones, enabling technicians to get high-quality diagnostics without expensive infrastructure.
💡 Through zero-shot and few-shot prompting, and consistent input methods, they’re ensuring accuracy while reducing workload.
The future is clear: data-standardised, AI-enhanced, human-optimised healthcare for all, especially underserved regions.

. @UCC_ED acknowledged Africa's daunting challenges but called for intentional, focused effort: "Lions don’t eat the whole world in a day. They take one bite at a time. Africa must solve its AI challenges with discipline, purpose, and action."
#AfricaAISummit2025
#AI will only fulfil its true potential if it is shaped by all and serves all, including the 1.4 billion people of #Africa. For that to happen we need to:
➡ Accelerate AI in #education, #agriculture, #health, and #governance.
➡Support the #GlobalDigitalCompact.
➡Participation of African stakeholders in global AI standard-setting
➡Create a Global AI Governance Framework
➡Safeguards data #sovereignty, #ethics, and #inclusion.

In our operations at Jika Analytics, we integrate AI with real-time data to personalise content, identify target audience behaviours, and optimise campaigns faster than manual systems ever could. This isn’t about replacing teams, it’s about empowering them with smarter tools.
#AfricaAISummit2025
From simulation learning to extended reality, today’s demos showed us a future where students create solutions, not just consume content. We’re not preparing them for jobs, we’re preparing them to lead innovation.
