Can Africa build its own AI ecosystem?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the world - from healthcare to finance, agriculture to education. But in Africa, the stakes are different. How do we make sure AI isn’t just another import but is something built for Africans, by Africans?

Africa Daily’s Alan Kasujja speaks to Ambassador Philip Thigo, Kenya’s Special Envoy on Technology, to unpack what it will take to own our digital future—tackling everything from data sovereignty to local innovation.
