AKA Yesterday's African Union meeting.
Long story short, it’s about how Google is doubling down and going all in on its integration with governments and their interests.
AKA Yesterday's African Union meeting.
Long story short, it’s about how Google is doubling down and going all in on its integration with governments and their interests.
Long story long,
It started with a Q&A session.
Top questions I remember ˙ᴗ˙
⤷ What steps are being taken to help Ethiopian developers access Google Cloud services, given that they can’t pay in birr and also face difficulties paying in U.S. dollars?
It was mentioned that they are working on it and it's not something that just happens the next day for legal and financial reasons but they do a workaround to solve this problem through partnerships.
Like Google play console registration was allowed in late 2024. It's something they worked on.
⤷ What is Google doing with Gemini to support local languages and help it understand the language and culture here?
They said gemini is just a baby that you need to teach so, take your phone out and converse with it on daily basis.
⤷ How are you building the insfrasture and polices of your products when going into markets (Gov related)?
They pointed an example of wanting Gemini to be bold but responsible.
It's not just launch and party but it's an iterative process where the respobility part comes with continous testing of every product and making sure that they're serving the purpose that they're meant to in different markets.
Deep down it is collaboration between governments, the regulators, and google to ensure that they put the best policies that are pro-innovation.
They mentioned it's key for Ethiopia’s rules help innovation while staying stable, while they will make sure online content is safe, legal, and follows their guidelines.

This video was from December.
I made my mama try Gemini for advice, she didn't like its answer at all. It suggested she watches dramas and listen to music.
Girly was binge watching a drama already so it made no sense to tell her to do it again.
Gemini finally pulled 'im lagging in a zoom call' card 😭

The future of AI in Africa will not be written only in Silicon Valley. It will be written in Addis Ababa, in Nairobi, in Lagos, in Cairo, in Accra, in Cape Town, and across every village and every city on our continent. So do not wait to be invited into the future. You must take charge and build it.
AI can make government more efficient, transparent, and responsive. Young technologists, such as yourself, can contribute to civic tech, development tech solutions, and digital public goods that strengthen service delivery in health, education, sanitation, and disaster management, among others.
