I am excited to share that I was recently featured in an exclusive interview with Africa Business Communities, one of the continent’s most respected business media platforms.
In the interview, I spoke as a Nigerian AI Thought Leader and co-founder of AI in Africa, a pan-African initiative dedicated to driving ethical AI adoption and capacity building across the continent.
Key Themes from the Interview
Here are some of the highlights:
- Africa must own its AI narrative: We discussed how Africa cannot afford to be a passive consumer of AI technologies developed elsewhere. We must develop solutions grounded in our own realities and challenges.
- AI is not a buzzword — it’s a catalyst for development: From agriculture to education, healthcare to governance, I emphasized that Artificial Intelligence in Africa should be a tool for inclusive growth and impact at scale.
- We must democratize access to AI education: I explained our work at AI in Africa, where we run grassroots programs, school engagements, and pan-African partnerships to get more young Africans building, not just consuming, AI.
- The future is African, but only if we build it: I made the case that the continent’s youthful population and data-rich environment offer a competitive advantage in the global AI race — if we act now.
Why This Feature Matters
Being profiled in this interview is not just a personal honor — it’s a signal that the global community is paying attention to AI Experts in Africa who are doing the work.
I’m grateful that this recognition amplifies our core mission: preparing Africa for an AI-powered future, ethically and inclusively.
