Given the current trend of AI in western countries,I am asking myself what will happen to Africa in the next 10 years to come, given the slow pace we are moving at Saving Changes...
I wouldn't think that Internet-enabled areas of Africa would be at a disadvantage given that AI tools are accessible anywhere and given the vast range of online self-learning resources, there wouldn't need to be formal courses locally available for interested practitioners to gain competency. And given the strong entrepreneurial spirit demonstrated by the many startups I've read about in various African countries, I've no doubt there won't be a big gap.
The key is to start exploring and learning as soon as possible to avoid being left behind.
Certainly the areas of Africa where Internet access is limited or sporadic might have more of a challenge.

Nambjimana, I do agree with Kiron's point of view. AI is not moving that fast in Western countries, it is moving at a slower pace than you think as many still have concerns about ethical matters, privacy and security so I don't African will be that much behind, if at all. Saving Changes...
