"Building a sustainable AI ecosystem in Africa requires addressing barriers like limited digital infrastructure, limited funding, AI skills gaps, and data.
Key strategies include sustainable strategic investments; mutually beneficial partnerships involving academia, industry, and government; frameworks for ethical AI development; and AI skills training and capacity building; data access and sharing; among others."
Prof. George Okeyo
Director of Academics, CMU-Africa

This was presented during the CMU-Africa Breakfast session on "AI for Africa: Harnessing AI to drive Africa’s sustainable growth" at the Times Higher Education Africa Universities' Summit.

"Individuals and institutions should identify existing partnerships that align with their goals. Joining established networks provides access to valuable resources and expertise, accelerating progress. To maximize impact, it is essential to be strategic—engaging in partnerships that support key objectives, foster meaningful connections, and drive lasting change. Through collaboration, we can shape Africa’s future. "

“CMU-Africa trains students in core technical skills in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, cybersecurity, software engineering, and energy systems. Through internships and practicum/capstone projects, they are exposed to real-world problem-solving, which helps them build their professional teamwork, collaboration, leadership, and communication skills. In summary, our students develop the desired interdisciplinary competencies through technical skills, policy knowledge, innovation, and IT entrepreneurship to prepare them to be future technology leaders.”

When you see quotes from religious books in documents communicating fiscal matters, you know it has "bite itself". A few years ago, Zambia's leaders were praying for the Kwacha, now those in Ghana are quoting the bible. Africa's thieving "leaders" are a rare breed indeed!
