Can AI Close Africa's Development Gap?
From helping a Ghanaian barber with speech challenges to transforming crop and health diagnostics, AI is reshaping Africa. With youth (median age: 19) and tech investments from big companies, the potential is huge. But without local language support, awareness, and training, its impact may fall short.
Can AI bridge the gap or widen the divide?
