Tony Elumelu, Chairman of UBA Group, stated that artificial intelligence (AI) could drive Africa’s next major transformation.
According to Elumelu, AI can revolutionise sectors such as healthcare, education, and agriculture, but only if inclusive systems, access to capital, and digital skills are prioritised.
AI holds immense potential to create meaningful impact where it is most needed across the continent.
Elumelu made these remarks at the IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings panel session titled “Boosting Productivity Growth in the Digital Age.”
