Artificial Intelligence and Digital Entrepreneurship in Africa

Introduction

Although many African governments, public institutions, NGOs, investment institutions and entrepreneurial firms have begun to deepen their discourses on the economic, social, technological, legal and institutional implications of AI adoption on the continent, many gaps persist.

For instance, Africa's investment into AI to support the nurturing, incubating and scaling of start-ups and entrepreneurial firms remains comparatively low to the rest of the world.
