Reclaiming Africa’s Digital Future: A Strategic Framework for AI Implementation and Continental Collaboration

Africa stands at a crossroads in the AI revolution: will we lead our narrative or be left behind? We see our labor, data and creativity fueling others’ AI while our communities struggle – a form of modern "digital colonialism". But Africa’s youthful innovators and pan-continental solidarity point to another path. By embracing the newly endorsed Continental AI Strategy’s “Africa-centric, development-focused approach” and tapping our booming youth potential, we can build home-grown AI for agriculture, health, education and more.

It’s time to reclaim digital sovereignty and ensure technology works for Africa’s future — #ActOnAI now.
