AI can have a very positive impact on developing countries. To see why and understand how, take a look at the following.
Three questions arise: What role will AI, robotics, and machine learning play, how can Africa best exploit the opportunities that intelligent automation and cognitive robotics have to offer, and how can Africa offset the threats posed by global factors?

AI in Africa

AI can have a very positive impact on developing countries. To see why and understand how, take a look at the following.

Robotics and Artificial Intelligence in Africa, IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine, Vol. 26, No. 4, pp. 131-135, December 2019
Realizing the Potential of AI in Africa: It All Turns on Trust, in Towards Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence Systems, M. I. Aldinhas Ferreira (Ed.), Springer.MBR> Africa Embraces AI, Robotics, and Machine Learning", a talk at ICRES 2020, the International Conference on Robot Ethics and Standards, Taipei, September 2020.
