AI's growing influence in Africa.🤖🗾
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly become a major player in modern life and business. It has the potential to revolutionise the way we live and work, and it is increasingly being used to automate tasks, improve decision-making, and provide more personalised experiences.
The use of AI has increased in various industries in Africa to improve automation and efficiency, such as in manufacturing and supply chain management. Additionally, in customer service and retail, AI chatbots and virtual assistants are being used to provide 24/7 support and improve customer experience. In the field of energy and resource management, it is being utilised to optimise resource allocation and improve sustainability. Also the security industry uses it to improve surveillance and threat detection.
Overall, AI is having a transformative impact on various industries in Africa by providing new capabilities and driving innovation. However, there are also concerns about its negative effects on modern life and business e.g job loss and privacy.
Join us on Wednesday, 25th of January, 4 pm (WAT), @Ventures Africa’s Twitter Space to discuss the topic. “How AI is affecting modern life and business.”
In a recent poll, we asked our audience about the effects of AI on modern life and businesses. 60% of our respondents believed that AI is positively impacting our lives, while 10% of respondents voted its impact is negative as it leads to job loss and privacy concerns. 19% of respondents were neutral, viewing AI as just another technology being integrated into daily life. Lastly, 10% of respondents were unsure, as they did not have enough information to form an opinion.
