In this episode of Relationships WithAI, host Iyabo Oba sits down with Emem Rita Usanga, a powerhouse in the tech advocacy world and the driving force behind Tech Nigeria Advocates, part of a global network championing tech ecosystems worldwide.
Emem brings a wealth of experience from her background in advertising, tech startups, and as a passionate advocate for connecting Nigeria’s tech landscape with the rest of the world.
Listeners can expect a thought-provoking discussion on AI’s influence on human relationships, the societal implications of AI advancements, and the balance between technology’s potential to help or hinder genuine human connection.
Don’t miss Emem’s unique insights into the challenges and opportunities AI presents in both the Global North and South.
Takeaways:
- AI’s Double-Edged Impact on Human Connection: While AI can streamline mundane tasks and boost productivity, its growing presence in personal and professional relationships risks furthering isolation, especially in the Global North, where reliance on technology may erode face-to-face interactions.
- Challenges in AI Adoption Across Regions: Emem highlights the differing needs of the Global North and South. In regions like Nigeria, where basic infrastructure can be a challenge, AI must address practical issues—such as fraud prevention—before tackling more advanced applications.
- Future of Work and Social Dynamics: As AI takes on more roles traditionally held by humans, Emem foresees both job displacement and the creation of new roles. This shift requires societies and individuals to adapt, underscoring the importance of human adaptability and ongoing learning in an AI-driven world.
