The strategy aims to fast-track AI development and adoption in Africa, driving innovation and growth that aligns with Nigeria’s digital transformation goals.
The African Union (AU) Executive Council has approved the “Continental Artificial Intelligence Strategy,” which promotes AI adoption in the public and private sectors among member states, including Nigeria.
This groundbreaking decision was announced in a document published on the AU website on Aug. 9, 2024.
The AU strategy on artificial intelligence was formally adopted during the AU Executive Council’s 45th Ordinary Session, held between July 18 and 19, 2024, in Accra, Ghana. This strategy, endorsed by the African ICT and Communications Ministers in June 2024, aims to harness AI for the continent’s development and the well-being of its people.
