AI's next frontier isn't where you might expect | Hardy Pemhiwa

About this episode

Hardy Pemhiwa discusses how Africa is leveraging AI in unique ways to address local challenges.

With a billion mobile phone users and a median population age of 19, Africa isn't catching up to the AI revolution — it's writing an entirely different playbook, says business leader Hardy Pemhiwa. He shows how a generation of entrepreneurs is using AI to teach classes, triage patients and boost farm yields through the power of local compute, local data and local languages.
