Abstract:

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the way we access and share knowledge. In Africa, where access to education and information is often limited, AI could be used to bridge the digital divide and empower people to learn and grow.

This presentation will explore the ways in which AI can be used to improve access to knowledge in Africa. We will also discuss the ethical implications of using AI in Africa. It is important to ensure that AI is used in a way that is fair and equitable, and that it does not exacerbate existing inequalities.
