Key Takeaways
Capturing only 10% of the fast-growing global Artificial Intelligence market could expand Africa’s economy by as much as $1.5 trillion by 2030—about 50% of its current gross domestic product (GDP)—according to this report. Africa's large youth population, growing middle class, and increasing access to mobile and internet technologies position the continent to become a leader in AI. The key lies in addressing socio-economic challenges, improving business efficiency, and creating consumer-focused AI solutions for Africa's massive population.
