Why We Need Whole-of-Planet AI Solutions: A Look at AI in Africa
About this episode
The episode discusses the unique perspectives on AI from Africa and the innovative approaches driven by grassroots movements.
Conversations on AI typically deal with impacts in the US, Asia, and Europe. Yet the impact of AI on Africa, and Africa on AI, is immense. Professor and Director of the MIND Institute at the University of the Witwatersrand Benjamin Rosman joins David Rothkopf to explore the unique perspectives coming from Africa in the tech space, why grassroots movements drive innovation, and how unique resource constraints are forcing a creative departure from the “bigger is better” obsession in Silicon Valley.
