ITWeb TV: AI needs to be relevant to the business and to Africa | Episode 123
In this episode of ITWeb TV, John Kamara, founder and CEO, AI Centre of Excellence, discusses Africa's evolving AI landscape, why the continent must ignore the global 'hype train' and focus on localised, relevant solutions to bridge the knowledge divide and create jobs. To achieve this, he says that AI must be used to transform education and that corporates must support local startups to foster innovation and job creation.
AI should be implemented strategically, with a multidisciplinary team within an AI centre of excellence, says Entelect.
