Is Africa going to miss the AI revolution?
2
According to Jeremy Refkins, Societies have
witness growth and progress When there had been
developments in transport and communication
systems.
3
This world is heading towards a third industrial
revolution if we make a trend of changes in the
last 10 years. As a result there would be many
jobs in africa
4
Artificial intelligence includes machine
learning, reasoning and self correction. In order
to Make AI successful, artificial intelligence
machines are trained to take inputs and behave
like humans.
5
Most of the AI systems are trained in developed
countries and hence they may not function
properly in Africa.
6
Since most of the artificial intelligence data is
compiled in Western countries, African people and
their inputs are ignored. This is a bias by the
people involved in the development of AI systems.

7
Therefore, Africa is at the risk to be left
behind in the AI revolution, since the AI
machines are catering to the problems of western
world which are not customized according to the
needs of Africa.
8
What should be our approach?Africans need to
take lead and generate more AI data by themselves
and upload it online.
9
Africans should also be vigilant that these AI
systems shouldnt be used be rulers and dictators
against the general public as being done in
China.
10
The UN body should step in and regulate the new
technologies for the good future of African
continent and mankind as a whole.
