According to Ntuli, for the continent to benefit from AI, role players like the African Union can take the lead from Europe and foster collaboration between key stakeholders. The continent also has scale on its side, he noted, raising the statistic that by 2050, one in four people in the world will be African.
“Seventy percent of the share of this AI value chain will most likely be in China and North America. The uptake in value from AI, specifically in Africa, is projected to be between 1% and 1.5%. He stressed the importance of co-location and edge data centres in South Africa, describing them as critical, as discussion continues around data sovereignty and using these resources to remain globally competitive.
